Why do people keep doing this? At this point I consider it a sign they'd rather be fancy than usable, which I can only imagine must be how they write their other software as well.

Is there a better alternative? Does something like a wordpress theme support proper scrolling out of the box? I am working on a blog and know next to nothing about this :)

Your readers will have picked a web-browser that supports scrolling the way they like it. The less you try to interfere with the way people choose to visit your webpage the better.

You don't need "support" for scrolling. It is supported by the browser, out of the box. The website hijacks scrolling with JS by introducing "smooth" scroll, which is a big no from the UX perspective.

What they think is "smooth" then feels like "my finger is wet and the screen isn't properly reading swipes" on a phone.
