It looks like the minibuffer is sandwiched between the modeline and the horizontal scroll-bar. Just imagine when you type a long line in the modeline, the horizontal scroll-bar's THUMB is moving/scrolling. It is quite distracting. This is my opinion though. All of this only seems to apply to the minibuffer's horizontal scroll-bar. It would appear that only windows in which truncation is in effect should get a horizontal scroll-bar. (I do not see what sense it makes for windows that use continuation lines.) For most people, it seems that horizontal scroll-bars would only be used in vertically split windows. (And thus not in the minibuffer.) For people who have truncate-lines set to t, it might be possible to design the variable horizontal-scroll-bar-mode such that it would be possible to exclude the minibuffer from the list of windows getting a horizontal scroll-bar, assuming that it looks really that annoying.
