Other users have different use-cases. Some users don't create nor control their
spreadsheets, but receive what others have created, with different themes and
color palettes, or different needs.

Your usage is not necessarily the same as every single user out there. What
seems an edge case for you might be more frequent for others.

Moreover, potential edge cases are sometimes exactly what needs to be tested.

Testing only the default background as the only relevant evaluation case is not
acceptable.

That's great. That means that the default color used for the active cell marker
is less likely to be exactly the same as a typical background (at least using
the color palette that you tested).

Having said that, you don't need the same exact color in order to reduce the
visibility of the active cell marker; even similar colors would do.

My point was that having 2 colored lines for the marker is not just a matter of
artistic subjective opinions; there is a need, a goal to accomplish.

I just hope that at some point the endless discussions about the active cell
marker line will focus/care about the goals of the feature and the pros/cons of
modifying some characteristic of it, instead of just (only) moving in circles
around artistic subjective opinions.
