I agree. It is useful only in editing modes. This is like highlighting
trailing whitespace which is useful only for writable files, i.e. where
whitespace deletions can be saved. There should be a user option
specifying the predicate to activate the mode, with the default value
like `buffer-read-only'.

Yes, blue is one of the most unsuitable colors. It seems everyone already
agreed on the following colors for escape glyphs:
(defface escape-glyph
'((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
:foreground "dark red")
(((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
:foreground "tan1")
(((class color) (min-colors 8))
:foreground "red"))
"Face for characters displayed as ^-sequences or \\-sequences."
:group 'basic-faces)
If these colors are unsuitable for no-break spaces then perhaps
a better face is `trailing-whitespace', or maybe it will require
a new face.
