Null is basically non-existent in idiomatic Scala. So technically you're right but besides calling Java libs there is only an infinitesimal small chance to get NPEs form Scala code. (Scala's NPE is the MatchException ;-)).
For Scala 3 there are improvements. It's "null safe" as long as you opt-in (modulo Java libs, and of course doing stupid things like casting a null to some other type).
