I guess the main aim of slides is to focus attention. So, the act of scrolling may have a negative psychological effect on that.
If you are starting with a document, there are apps that directly transform it into slides, like deckset and marp for markdown. I think I've seen similar options directly integrated into obsidian, Notion and others.

I remember a few years ago some more dynamic presentation modes making a bit of a splash. I used one of them[1] to good reception in at least one talk, but ultimately it felt more like really slick slide-to-slide transitions than a fundamentally different paradigm.

I actually use a scrolling document for most of my talks at work. I do this for a few reasons:
I am lazy. I just want write in Markdown. I have a dynamic HTML renderer so I don't even have to render the document myself. https://github.com/superjamie/emdee
Usually the stuff I write is intended to be consumed either as written or as video. I don't want a bunch of slides with incomplete talking points.
It works for me.
And also logseq, e.g. visit https://logseq.com/?spa=true#/page/how%20to%20take%20dummy%2... and click the dots in the upper right and "Presentation"
