I know you're exaggerating some, but this isn't even close to what I'm seeing: You can drag the entire content area to scroll, not just the scrollbar, and you can drag it past its container to keep scrolling. This is normal for scrolling on mobile, and the snap behavior doesn't affect it.

I do agree that the snap behavior is annoying, it's just nowhere near as bad as you describe...
