Why do you think so? The region is redrawn when the cursor moves, and
the cursor moves as result of Emacs commands, so how is this very
different from what you want? By contrast, the mouse highlight is
triggered by mouse movements that are completely independent of Emacs
commands, and the implementation, as part of the display engine, is
therefore quite complicated. Whereas the region display is nowadays
implemented completely in Lisp.
