Web accessibility question: Is there a reason why a website should use the "scroll-behavior: smooth" property to specify smooth scrolling, as opposed to an instant jump, particularly when tabbing through the page? I'm aware of using a media query to make that behavior take effect only if the user hasn't specified that they prefer reduced motion. But is there an accessibility reason why we should override the browser on this, rather than keeping the de-facto default of reduced motion?
