I'm assuming this is a rhetoric question.

So: the value `auto' behaves as `nil' on Windows, so it's unreliable if 
a given command supports highlighting of the matches.

Why don't we write each command's implementation as if we're targeting 
Windows? That would mean never using the value `auto', and yes, 
explicitly binding grep-highlight-matches to nil in every command that 
doesn't want `always'.
