Which is a good thing: if you somehow miss the momentary highlight, you'd need to delete and reinsert the paren to see it again. When you edit a complex sexp, you might wish to see the matching parens after they are already inserted. show-paren-mode solves this nuisance (which happens to me all the time when I use "emacs -Q"). Of course, I'm a veteran and devoted user of show-paren-mode.
