That was one of the reasons I didn't want to use a native vertical
scrollbar.

The intention is that it's only an indicator, and the body of the band
is the interactor.
I think people ain't used to scrolling horizontally as much, so if
vertical scrolling were any more emphasized than it is, then that might
totally inhibit any hint that horizontal scrolling is possible. (A
native vertical scrollbar would really emphasize vertical scrolling.)
But I could be wrong.
