Thanks, but I'd still prefer the Grep way, see below.

We are likely talking about different things.  I'm talking about the
highlighting done by Grep mode, when you go to the next/previous hit.
For me, it highlights only the match found by Grep the program.

I think xref-find-references is similar to Grep, in that it looks for
matches to a known string/regexp, so IWBNI it highlighted the match.

I don't mind the result, FWIW, it doesn't seem to annoy me.
