My understanding of the Cut page is that the timeline summary always shows the full extent of the timeline and the timeline detail always shows a zoomed-in portion of the timeline close to the playhead, with the playhead itself fixed in the middle. You can the timeline, but the timeline itself and the clips on it move behind the fixed playhead rather than the reverse. That's the way it worked for me in Resolve 16.7 and the way it still works in 17.
The Edit page has the traditional timeline where the timeline and clips remain fixed and the playhead moves left and right.
