My original use of transient-mark-mode for such errors was for sml-mode.el
where the region specified by an error can span several screenfuls of text
(narrowing down such error reports to something more useful is actively
being worked on, but is still a research problem). In such a case it is
very useful to be able to jump to each end of the region.
So using transient-mark-mode was just very natural and had the added
advantage of being extremely easy to code.

Seeing how much tmm-specific code has been written, I tend to believe
the opposite. I suspect tmm is unpopular among Emacs veterans but I
also suspect that GUI-happy users have a hard time believing that it's not
enabled by default.
