They could.  But they shouldn't.

For the current search hit, it makes sense to provide
as much info as possible visually.  That is, in this
context (regexp matching), highlight each of the groups
in a unique way, so they can be easily identified in
the search hit.

The idea behind even/odd lazy-highlighting is to just
provide a rough idea of some of the matching.  The
current search hit should show accurate, complete info
about the match.
