Javascript Element scrollTo compatibility difference between caniuse and mozilla

I am looking for browser support information of Element.scrollTo method. However, there is difference in results from caniuse and mozilla for the latest safari(iOS) and Edge.

From mozilla, it says these browsers do not support this method. But caniuse says they do support.

mozilla

caniuse

When I tested with iPhone X, iOS 13.3.1, the method worked perfectly, which means that mozilla is wrong.

So far, I have trusted mozilla for the compatibility check purpose because this website is more descriptive on (other) technical information (thus, more reliable?).

In a long term, should I rely on caniuse, rather than mozilla?

    In this case the information at https://caniuse.com/#feat=element-scroll-methods is correct regarding iOS support. I've submitted feedback on the MDN support table.
