Can you name one? Depends on how you scroll, I guess. Applications where "point" stays put when it goes out of the viewport need to be scrolled by moving "point". But if you have in mind the automatic movement of point when the window is scrolled, then yes, it's quite unique to Emacs, but it isn't about scrolling, it's about the fact that any movement of point modifies the region.
