I think that math corners and math background serve different
purposes. Math corners do not only indicate the outline of the whole
formula but also the outline of frame elements within this formula.
This is the reason why I use them. I believe that the purpose of math
background is to show at a first glance where math is used. Math
corners are relatively subtle and could be overlooked. Having said
this, I personally do not find math background helpful. Even if math
corners are removed, I would not make use of math background. But I
would not be surprised if other users are fond of math background but
not of math corners.
I am sure I could find a use case for any existing color options, even
though some use cases would not be very strong (such as my own use case
for math corners).
Your idea to introduce transparency and to make transparency the default
for most colors is excellent and much better than my own proposal of
ordering the existing colors in a hierarchical way!

Yes, I do. As I am using LaTeX preview, math corners are only
visible to me when I activate a formula. They serve as additional
visual support, because they indicate which corners (in another part
of the activated formula) would "light up" as math frame when my
cursor is moved into this position.
math frame (which indicates the active portion of the formula) is much
more important, of course.
I agree that math corners are not a "must have". They are a "nice to
have" which some users such as myself are actually using.
What I wonder is whether we need both the inactive math corners and the
math background. This seems a bit overkill.
