I understand why we would want to do this for hCard - I can't understand
why somebody would want to do this for hSet.

Specifically, I don't understand the CSS argument because I haven't seen
enough examples of group highlighting via CSS in the real world.

The question wasn't that general - "Why would we write CSS rules for
hset?". Per the Microformats process - do we have examples of anybody
highlighting that information? I'd be very interested to see some
examples of this as there are none listed in the 68 entries on the
grouping-examples page:
