An object can belong to more than one collection.

This is why Blender needs real groups that are mutually exclusive.

"Grouping" is actually just parenting objects to an empty. Other software hide that it's an "Empty", and redirects selection to it when a child object is clicked. Blender can't do that. It could.

Though, i think Blender should just give more power to collection instances to take that role. Blender lacks is the ability to easily convert any collection to a collection instance and then letting the user suspend the grouping when they need to edit the objects within.

Now the color of the stroke indicates the type of selection. It seems that you are breaking this important indication.

Selection always can be highlited by lighter color or darked, eg +10 or -10 wthr..
