Personally I'm not seeing much value if it's only on the activities bar.
Currently, scrolling doesn't do anything. So, save for technical limitations, I
think scrolling anywhere is the better solution, UX wise.
Personally, I can think of 2 use cases. One is someone wishing to quickly
switch to the next workspace, or a specific workspace, without having to aim
for the right workspace. The other is browsing through windows, closing, or
focusing what piques their interest.
The way I think about the first situation it is that the cursor is going to be
at a completely random position when the overview is triggered. Therefore, if
we assume that most of the time it's not going on be on the activity/workspace
bar, the user will have to aim the cursor at it. At which point they could just
aim on the workspace they wants to focus. They'd reach the destination faster.
The second usage, the user is going to want to focus a window at some point.
Meaning they aim at the top bar, scroll, then aim the at the window they want
to focus.
