Oh shit! Yeah, it looks like as of 2022 that article I linked to needs to be updated. It should say O(n log n), yes.
That said, scrolling ever-farther on a web page will always get slower the further down you go, and eventually fail, because of memory allocation. If you ignore some of the factors that make all truly-infinite pages impossible, and require an O(1) algorithm to generate numbers within the inherently-more-than-O(1) process of rendering the page in the first place, then sure, it’s impossible. My point is, the asymptotic complexity is low enough that you can make a page that does it and it’ll work in practice.
