   AFAIK pull down to refresh is not an expected desktop interaction, since users typically do not drag content. I think there is another issue that discusses desktop-related features the indicator could support I will look for it.

   I could not find one, so I'll make this the canonical issue for how this widget behaves on desktop and desktop+web

   The triaged-design label is irrelevant if there is no team-design label or fyi-design label.

    Even if we decided that this widget is still not supposed to function in a desktop app, as a doc example the current state is confusing, and we should either override the platform setting (a platform switch would be even better) or straight up display "be aware you're on desktop and this won't work".
