Good question. The commit message making the change points to
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Design/Whiteboards/Options/Global
see
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0b0fb87fbac36ef9fbf3dfeac0f1372617f4b3e4

Motivation: These settings aren't necessary for the usability of LibreOffice
and don't comply with our design principles.

Based on few ask question the main issue is that the cell Selection is
following system colors. If you have a yellow system color (which appears to be
the case here), you will have hard time noticing selections. Especially with
high transparency (low contrast) 

Some other ask reports:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/calc-how-to-change-color-of-selected-cell-indicator/76852
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-change-calc-cell-selector-colour-on-7-3-on-macos/73847

If I read this correctly the removal of Selection.Transparency pre-dates the
issue. So nobody missed it until some started pointing to it to solve this way
