@researchfairy When implemented right the article progress bar is a bit different to a scroll bar, because it tracks only the article text box (ie the main content). There's usually a lot more on any given article page (yes, ads but also headers footers etc).

@kolya @researchfairy I think you mean when you implement them wrong. (/s)

When implemented right, they tell you where you are on the page. People don't give a care in the world where they are in the article. They care about knowing where they are in the page, so if they get interrupted, they can quickly get back to where they were before. That's the whole point.
