Not really.

> 2) What is the usecase for this API as is?

Doing what browsers and web pages expect by default.

> 3) What are the limitations of GtkScrolledWindow?

GtkScrolledWindow doesn't know how to "not show" scrollbars. It either makes
the content scrollable, and displays scrollbars, or makes it not scrollable,
which makes it request the size of the content as its minimum size. It is very
unflexible.

Now, like I said, you _can_ override this, you just need to stop the WebView
applying the changes required by web content, so if you feel like making the
view always have scrollbars, you can. But if you want to get rid of the
scrollbars, then you need to use something other than GtkScrolledWindow.
