I've torn my hair out! Enough is enough! So here's my SQOTW, Stupid Question Of The Week.
On the Google Play website on a Windows computer (*not* in the Play
Store app on an Android device), I can no longer scroll/page/move
(down and up) through the 'About this app' popup.
IIRC, this scrolling/paging/moving down and up had to be done in a
rather akward way, like pressing cursor down until the page moved or
some such strange way, but now nothing works. Not the cursor keys, not
pg dn / pg up (not the normal keys and not the 'doubles' on the numeric
pad), no scroll bar anywhere, nothing.
I've tried this in Windows 11 and 10 in Chrome and Edge.
An example:
'SyncMe Wireless' <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bv.wifisync>
Go to the 'About this app ->' part (which may be towards the bottom of
the page) and click on the arrow.
You now get a popup/popin window. For me the bottom of the text says
"Known issues:", which clearly indicates there should be more (for
example the 'Compatibility with your active devices' section).
How the heck do you scroll down to see the rest of the text!?
[N.B. Never mind the app. It's just an example. I've the same problem
with all the other apps I've looked at.]
[N.B.2. Yes, JavaScript is enabled. With JavaScript disabled, you don't
get the popup at all.]

Both my trackball scroll wheel and touch screen scroll the popup normally.

The bottom text on the popup I get in your example is:
"This section shows you whether this app works on your devices. You?ll
only see devices that are linked to your Google Account and that have
been active in the last 30 days."

Mine seems to scroll normally. Perhaps a local problem for you?
I'm using Windows 11 Home 22H2 Build 22621.1848 and Chrome Version 114.0.5735.134 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Sorry I couldn't help more...

Remains the question (for others and perhaps also for you):
Can you get the scrolling (in the 'About this app' popup) to work
*without* using a scroll wheel or similar (i.e. scroll area on a
touchpad)? If so, how?
(Reason: I would like to leave things as they are. Until now I've
never needed a scroll area on the touchpad and when you have such an
area, it's (too) easily touched by accident, so you have to turn it on
and off.)

Although you posted in an Android newsgroup which would have you using
the mobile versions of web browsers, you ask here on a problem involving
a desktop web browser, and should've asked in the Win10/11 newsgroups.
Fo now, try using the mouse scrollbar until Google decides to re-add a scrollbar to the flex container, or switch to Firefox where the
scrollbar is still present.
I don't remember ever using the arrow keys
or Page Up/Down to move through content inside the flex container.
There's no cursor insert pointer to move within the flex content.

I have a Windows 11 laptop with a touchpad and hence no scroll wheel.

Nope, I shouldn't. I asked here, because Android users are much more
likely to use the Google Play website (on their computer) than your
average Windows user.

As the (non-scrollbar) problem occurs in both Chrome and Edge, I don't think it's a problem with the Google Play website, nor with Google in general.
Anyway, I can now scroll with the touchpad, so problem solved.
