WebKit/blink have "overflow: overlay" to enable scrollbars that don't take up layout space. Back in 2013 Tab said he supported standardization of this.
IE/Edge has '-ms-overflow-style: -ms-autohiding-scrollbar' which does the same but also indicates that scrollbars should automatically hide when not in use. Note that many sites try to implement this themselves today based on mouseenter/mouseleave events, which breaks touchscreen scrolling.
I don't know all the history here, but does CSSWG want to consider standardizing something here?
This bug tracks potential removal in blink.
