The Codex App
How is File Pilot for accessibility and for all of the little niceties like native scrolling, clipboard interaction, drag and drop, and so on? My impression is that the creator is has expertly focused on most/all of these details, but I don't have Windows to test.
I insist on good UI as well, and, as a web developer, have spent many hours hand rolling web components that use . The most complicated one is a spreadsheet/data grid component that can handle millions of rows, basically a reproduction of Google Sheets tailored to my app's needs. I insist on not bloating the front-end package with a whole graph of dependencies and enjoy my NIH syndrome. So I know quality when I see it (File Pilot). But I also know how tedious reinventing the wheel is, and there are certain corners that I regularly cut. For example there's no way a blind user could use my spreadsheet-based web app (https://github.com/glideapps/glide-data-grid is better than me in this aspect, but there's no way I'm bringing in a million dependencies just to use someone else's attempt to reinvent the wheel and get stuck with all of their compromises).
The answer to your original question about why these billion dollar companies don't create artisanal software is pretty straightforward and bleak, I imagine. But there are a few actually good reasons not to take the artisanal path.

Infinite Pixels
As noted by another comment here [0], when you use a virtual DOM/canvas based "infinite" data grid such as Glide Data Grid [1] or TanStack Virtual [2], you get the performance/usability of native scrollbars because under the hood, both of those libraries create scrollable DIVs with a very large height. ie, you're scrolling a big empty div, and a viewport into the "infinite" grid is actually drawn in the canvas.
But this does fall apart for very very large grids, as you get close to the height limit described in this article.
I also ended up re-implementing scrollbars, but it's super janky - and even more so on mobile where you lose the "flick"/inertia/momentum touch gestures (or you have to re-implement them at your peril).
Are there any other tricks/libraries that tackle this? Thanks!

The Design Philosophy of Great Tables (Software Package)
Why do you want to render to canvas?
Perspective seems to be the most performant html table. It is more focused on extremely fast updates than styling, although it looks good.
Glide is a newcomer that also renders to canvas.

New Renderers for GTK
Can you give examples of better JS renderers?
What is needed for performance of traditional GUI app rendering? I'm particularly interested in table rendering. Glide and Perspective are both canvas based renderers, but I haven't dug into the internals.

Show HN: Datagridxl2.js – No-nonsense fast Excel-like data table library
We ran into the same issue! We actually implemented a feature we joking call clown-car scrolling to handle this. If you want to steal the basics of it you can see it here: https://github.com/glideapps/glide-data-grid/blob/main/packa...
Feel free to steal and improve, we only enable the clown-car mode when the desired scrollable area is larger than what a browser can support. With our implementation scrolling is still handled by the browser, but the scroll location can be subtly recomputed as you go from time to time. We only do this when interacting with the scrollbar directly to avoid weird artifacts like scrolling feeling faster than normal.
