I think you are right about the original version of Tetris. But most
versions of Tetris use different colours or patterns for the different
pieces. You can't really have that on the VCS. But by highlighting the
falling piece, you can at least make this one distinguishable from the
pieces already lying in the bin. I think this is also a good feature to
have.
