Apart from possibly not even being that "easy", some will consider it bad UI (in general dialogs do not scroll, content can scroll in dialogs). If a dialog is too large to fit on a small (or not so small, it's also depending on the font size and spacing/padding of the GUI theme) screen, this is often an indicator to rethink the content (e.g. the number of options, the amount of text) displayed on a single page and/or the overall layout/structure of the dialog.

But if such a scrollable dialog is what users want - likely someone will add it (as requested). Retracting my earlier proposal to link as duplicate to bug #1510831 in this case (personally I'd favour a redesign of the whole dialog instead of the scrollbar, obviously ;-) ).
