Pardon my ignorance on this. I am not sure if the easing of scroll motion is scrolljacking.

> Scrolljacking basically means we replace native scrolling (what you’re used to) with targeted scrolling: when the user initiates a scroll, either with their mouse or keyboard, scrolljacking takes them to an exact vertical point on the screen (for example, the top of the next content container)

They aren't targeting your scrolling to specific areas on the page, just adding an ease in/out. It happens natively on iOS actually.

Edit: I do agree that it might hinder accessibility, just dont think the term applies as it does in other cases here.

If you got that from Google's snippet, it's a bad snippet. Scrolljacking is short for "scroll hijacking" and can mean screwing with the browser's default (which we can assume to be user's preferred, or at least expected) scrolling behavior in any number of ways.
