An engine (software) should do and, in this special case, show progress exactly to order.

Feel free to install a switch-button REAL/SMART display.
Kovids point is that this is not a character difference program. It is context sensitive. The context is books and hence words. Highlighting the words that have changed, rather than the individual characters, makes reading the changes easy.

As an example of what I mean, if you are comparing versions of the book before and after someone ran a spelling checker over it, highlighting the different letters doesn't help work out which changes shouldn't have been made. In that case, highlighting the letters will probably make it harder to read the words and make you focus on the letters instead.
