For the record, I also dislike smooth scrolling in the Start menu, settings app etc. With Edge, they lowered the animation speed from baseline Chromium to match that I think.

In Chrome it's nice at high refresh rates and looks buttery smooth, but at 60Hz it's too choppy so I turn it off there. It seems that the Edge devs have opted for a slower (=smoother) animation, optimized for 60Hz screens, whereas Chrome has opted for more responsiveness.

(giving the user the ability to tweak the scroll animation speed would be too much to ask I guess)

(disabling smooth scrolling with the "disable animations" setting in Windows is too much to ask as well I guess)
