As you can do nothing with this "selection", it really makes no sense to show it. If you could make this selection permanent by clicking on the row, and do some actions on your selection, it would be different. IMHO, a valid argument would be that this highlighting makes it easier to quickly see which information in different columns belong together, especially when much whitespace is used. But for this, alternative coloring of rows is enough.
