I think a lot of “modern” scrollbars are just there as an affordance so you know that the content is scrollable and how far you’ve scrolled down, not to actually click and drag. Not entirely sure about the UX research for this but my guess is that it’s because most people either physically drag (like with a touchpad or touch screen) or use a mousewheel to scroll down.
The scrollbars in Linux are functional. They can be rather narrow depending on the DE and theme, but it’s usually easy enough to make them bigger if needed.

Some sites and apps have custom scrollbars. I don’t like it, but they do exist.
Websites can change the colour of the scrollbars, in which case they’re no longer system-rendered ones.
Mac an iOS scroll bars work well most of the time. Sometimes they do fade out a bit faster than it’d like though. But they are touchable.

You can turn them on in permanently in the desktop os, but I’ve never liked in the phone.

They grow when you mouse over them, or at least did. I got used to not needing them with touchpad scrolling being so good on Macs.
