May I suggest that everyone just drop this whole 'develop/program it once, run it everywhere' slogan that just gets repeated endlessly when people try to promote their new platform/framework/library or whatever? I've never seen it work out that way in practice. Never. All individual platforms have their own features, unique quirks and distinct, platform specific bugs and trying to abstract over all the platform specific stuff means you end up with either low-quality, or low-feature implementation that comes close to being usable, but still never quite USEFUL.
Even the web browser, the only one that ever came close to fulfilling that promise, still requires fixing or accounting for browser-specific implementation bugs or quirks or non-standard feature additions/omissions. The closest you can get is just ignore Firefox, Safari and just target Chromium-based browsers, OR just use a subset of the latest web standards.
Considering how scrolling itself is entirely broken on the cogentcore website itself (I'm on desktop Chrome and my mousewheel and 3rd button scrolling doesn't work), it's not inspiring that they couldn't get something basic like scrolling to work. Is it not possible to just delegate scrolling behaviour to the browser?

Many apps that make hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and have millions of users are built on cross platform technologies. (IntelliJ IDEs for example, and many Mobile apps which use same code for iOS and Android, Cursor, VS Code, etc). People use these apps even though they are not platform native and some of them have die hard fans too.
