Since this doesn't exist in practice, shouldn't the article author first explain what they mean by that?

Same in Safari. It has something to do with the
:root {
[…]
overflow: hidden scroll;
container-type: size;
[…]
}

#6I was hoping the parentheses themselves would be flipped. Like this:
> 1 + )2 * 3(
(1 + 2) * 3

Cannot scroll on Safari on macOS, either. What also doesn't work is making the font smaller / larger.

The examples at the end show that it's syntax for "parse such that this expression is not grouped". Essentially I guess this could be modelled as an operator `(_+_)` for every existing operator `_+_`, which has its binding precedence negated.

Same.
That said if you try to use that with ordinary parentheses usage it would get ambiguous as soon as you nest them
