Description

### Description

I am using MaUI scrollView control and I want to show the scrollbars "always" in the Mac Catalyst platform if the content size is more. So I am using the scrollview properties "HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" and "VerticalScrollBarVisibility" as "Always". However the scrollbar fades away after sometimes.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a MaUI App.
2. Add a scroll View control, keep a large size content inside the scroll viewer.
3. Set the scrollbar visibility properties (horizontal and vertical) of the scrollviewer as "Always".
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the shown ScrollView and its HorizontalScrollBarVisibility and VerticalScrollBarVisibility set to Always on Mac Catalyst. Compare the scrollbar behavior after it fades, then verify that both scrollbars remain visible when the content exceeds the viewport and check the same scenario on Windows.
