> If you scroll a upper non-selected window of same buffer, will the upper widow become selected ? 

No.  And it shouldn't.

> My position is that if non-selected window gets scroll event, the same window should become selected. Same way, as a mouse-1 click on a non-selected window makes that same window selected.

In that case, what Sean wrote is true: it's a feature, not a bug.
Emacs lets you scroll a window without making it the selected one.

> When you scroll upper non-selected window, the bottom selected window still "steals" some individual scroll events. Thus, scrolling in a non-selected window also affects another selected window of the same frame.

This I cannot reproduce.  If you have a recipe for reproducing this in
"emacs -Q", please show the steps to reproduce.
