Wouldn't the fact that Apple is able to remove the scrollbars in several situations imply that they aren't a 'linchpin' of UI design?

I rather like that I get a little extra real-estate, but some times I would like a visual indicator that there is more to a page off-screen. The indicator, however, need not be a scroll-bar.

Lukas Mathis proposes an interesting solution for the "visual indicator:" http://ignorethecode.net/blog/2011/08/01/invisible_scrollbar...
