Another problem is that applications that try to implement smooth scroll for wheel events will actually drop events or screw up the animation, making the unlocked scroll useless or just as slow as normal.

Smooth scrolling for wheel events works fine in Firefox on Linux, speed and all. I have such a momentum wheel Logitech mouse. (I almost always leave the clicks engaged, the wheel can still keep going for quite a distance if flicked hard enough.)

Do you have an example application that does that? Used such Mouse a long time on Windows and now on Mac but never experienced that.

As a general rule anything that scroll jacks is quickly removed from my computer or browser tab

It's not (most) websites that do this, but the browsers and applications themselves. Games are also notorious for it. It's possible to configure it in some cases (like in Firefox), but in others it's just built-in and there's no knob.
