This is done on purpose, because transform operator doesn't affect active strip, but it could be same as in timeline, that only selected active strip has white outline

The active strip highlighting isn't an indication of how strips will be affected, but which strip's properties are displayed in the sidebar.

Also, it's counter intuitive and inconsistent if selection isn't represented by the same colours in both sequencer and preview.
