As you said, this idea to hide the scrollbar seems to come from
touch-devices, or at least became popular with those.
No I didn't say that, I said that you don't need to click a scroll bar
nobody clicks a scroll bar for scrolling(right? well my granny maybe does
but she's not the case. ) and since u don't need to click it it's hidden by
default to let you save some free screen space and increase readability and
then I said that's why they don't have those on mobile.
But as previously said, depending on how well scroll-wheel (or scrolling
using touchpad) is implemented, you mostly scroll using that, not using the
scrollbars. I really don't think that this particular feature has much to
do with touch devices imho.
Also, most OSses these days have proper scrolling speeds, so giving the
wheel (or touchpad) a "whirl" accelerates the scrolling properly, so even
fast scrolling multiple pages works quite efficiently that way, without
having to move the cursor to the scrollbar.

I generally agree with that, for exactly your "see what you want to click"
argument. But scrollbars have lost a lot of their use since the mouse wheel
touchpad scrolling was implemented ;)

Or maybe it's just me... I never liked auto-hiding stuff like menus and
taskbar.

All my personal opinion of course...
