Jeff,
We had this discussion in the past. The main issue of what you are proposing is constant "manual" reselection and that will be extremely challenging for several reasons.
#1 - each view is different. Selecting a random group of tracks will not be a unified process. Especially in expanded views. They would have to be minimized. Existing Bar Settings works in any view equally same.

#2 Intersection is defined by either selecting a particular bar, nearest bar to cursor position, or type in the panel itself. I think reinventing the wheel here is not needed.

#3 amounts of clicks and moves it will take to do things like:
Bar 1 -Mute all except for 2,4,5,8,9,12,15,17,22,24
Bar 3 - Unmute all except for 3,7,11,14, 17,22,24.
Bar 10 -Mute all except 2,6,23

To simply put, it can't be programed automatically, because of rules and overrides(Exceptions). And you can't automate selection inversion, as each change at the bar is individual user preference. Exceptions (overrides)

---------
I fully understand the concept you are proposing, I just believe existing logic for mutes/unmutes is brilliant and user should not think: "How do I do this in this view?". Since we talked about this before, it would be very interesting to hear from somebody else who is using Bar Settings - "Mutes" often.
