The problem with that is, this only works for a flat list of results.
Scope have results split in multiple categories and what you propose
could only work for the last category.

On top of that there's the problem of having a very long list of
results, scrolling through something like that is always tedious, we'd
need to add an obvious way to go to top.

And then there's a question of when do we surpass what a scope is meant
to be. Usually it's meant to be a quick view onto a set of data, not a
full-blown application.

Bug description:
  Many APIs return only partial results to a query, along with a token
  for requesting further results.  There should be a way for scopes to
  request those results when the user has viewed all of the current
  results.

  The obvious trigger would be when the user pulls up at the bottom of
  the results list.  This feels natural, and it would mirror the pull-
  down-at-top-to-refresh behavior.  But this could also happen
  automatically when the user approaches the bottom of the list, like
  infinite-scroll webpages.
