I like rainbow parentheses and this is already a common feature in code editors.
Every example past that was just worse for readability. I think you're right about density not being the only important metric here.

I think one important point in the article is being unnoticed: these special highlights would not be the default for reading code, but specific tools that the developer can turn on and off for when their use case is needed.
So, not much different than a search for regular expressions or a "show definition" tooltip
