I might misunderstand you, but I do not agree -- the highlighted region is what I like most about Transient Mark Mode. It is nice to see exactly how the region looks like (the last couple of years I have turned it off for other reasons but when I do use it I like seeing that highlight.) I sometimes make use of the feature where certain commands are restricted to the region, but for me that isn't critical (it's "nice to have"), I could always use narrowing if I wanted that.
