Why ? That means only that the software has to control itself the size
of the scrollbars. If the window manager takes bad usability choices, is
it necessary to applaud ?

I know that my English is too bad, but I said exactly the contrary.

Indeed and because it is an UX list you should explain when do you will
restore the navigation function which is suppressed by removing this
button.
Even if this button is not the right implementation of the function, the
function is useful and should be kept. That means a function being
accessible in the default UI, and not only in the Navigator or in a
toolbar which is not open by default.
When do you will do that ?
