This is called "edge scrolling" and is one configuration setting away: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/scrol...
Touchpads are barely little more than touchscreens with a button behind the hinge (if that) and virtually all functionality is purely implemented in userspace.

This is the problem. It sounds like the *default* has been "deprecated", and if you don't know where it went, you're up s*** creek.

This is far too much the norm nowadays.
