Some of the things on this list I've never encountered and seem a little like fluff for the post (not being able to copy stuff? hijacking regularly used keystrokes? how often is that happening to you, really?).
Navigation/history tracking is an ongoing battle within SPAs. Not rocket science but if not part of initial planning definitely becomes a problem to implement after-the-fact. Agreed this is something to work on across the web.
But I will take the scrollbar thing into consideration in my next site. I am very guilty of this.
I feel like I suffer from the copy issue at least once a week. My go to solution is inspecting the page source to copy directly from there but it's still extremely annoying. Please make your text selectable/searchable.
The worst offender for this is my bank which doesn't provide a way to copy my IBAN.
Somehow banks decided it's a good security practice to hinder copying and pasting of IBANs, especially when user defines a bank transfer. So here you are, multiple tabs and files open at once, entering IBAN digit by digit and checking multiple times, now you are secure.
The scroll bar thing is hard because Apple already declared war on visible scroll bars (along with all other supposed visual clutter) half a decade ago, so most can’t see them “except after activating them with gestures” anyway.
