Use case

I run gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface overlay-scrolling false to make all scrollbars visible and full-width in GTK3/GTK4 apps. Flutter uses GTK for some platform integration on Linux, but that doesn't currently extend to reading scrollbar preferences.

Proposal

Flutter should read this gsettings preference and make scrollbars visible (instead of auto-hiding) if the pref is set to "false".

This might also be an issue on macOS, since I believe macOS supports a setting to make scrollbars always visible. Can anyone with access to a running macOS installation confirm this?

Yes, here's the option in System Preferences > General (the exact look will probably change in v.13 Ventura since it has a new setting app):

The triaged-desktop label is irrelevant if there is no team-desktop label or fyi-desktop label.
