I agree that it's poorly named.  In bug#49844 we are developing a new feature
for which the most suitable name would be `highlight-nonselected-windows' -
it will highlight nonselected windows by changing their background color.
Unfortunately this name is already occupied by this unrelated variable.
But like Eli said it's too late to rename this variable.
