The CodePen is not great on mobile, but that has everything to do with the CodePen mobile UI and nothing to do with CSS scroll snapping. If anything scroll snapping helps those with poor motor skills as it requires less precision in movement... because it snaps.

No, it's pretty bad on desktop too. If I try to scroll a little bit to read the bottom of the first section (which doesn't quite fit in the 300px height), I get snapped to the second section, with no way of reading the last part of the first section without "maintaining" the scroll by click+dragging the scroll bar without releasing it. It's a pretty bad experience overall.

Removing the `mandatory` value from the attribute makes it a little better (in that the snapping is more a suggestion but you're still able to at least scroll such that all content is accessible), but it's still frustrating that the scroll position is hijacked.
