I think a workaround is to use xinput.

xinput
# Note down your touchpad device id
xinput set-prop device_id SynapticsEdgeScrolling 1 1 1
# the default is 0 0 0

So maybe we need to add a GUI component to the control centre to toggle this.
And while we are at it, we should try to integrate as many settings from the 
synaptic drivers as possible. A lot of people are put off by being unable to 
configure their trackpads.

PS: I am new here. Actually my first comment and appearance here. (I just made 
an exclusively for this issue)
I was hoping if someone would be kind enough to tell me the file which may need 
to be modified for the fix. I would like to get my hands dirty and this seems 
like something easy.
