Yes, touch is another thing. For a typical browser or text in an editor you expect the point being touched to stay under your finger as your touch moves. Touch the text, move your finger up and the text should scroll up. But touch the vertical scroll bar and you expect the viewpoint indicator to move up as your finger does, with the text scrolling down.
Most people accept that a mouse scroll wheel will change the vertical scroll bar, the text scrolling opposite to the bar and mouse action. Take the displayed scroll bar away and it can feel very wrong to some people.
