I'm digging around through various publicly available corporate/gov design systems to identify patterns and there's a weird one that I've noticed.

Hardly any of these have a pagination component. A few do, but the lack of universality surprises me.

Did someone come up with some UX wizardry at some point that made paging through things unnecessary? 🤔️

(I mean, I know that infinite scrolling and "Load more" type situations exist, but I always considered them sub-par compared to being able to jump multiple pages or directly to the start/end of a set.)
