bolding author name

Question

I have been using a snipet for making a specific authors name bold in the bibliography (see \newcommand below). It works very well, but it changes the style of the author from the default way (which I prefer, see image below). My problem is, that the command is rather complicated, and I don't really understand what happens there. I would really appreciate if someone could explain to me how to change the format back to the prefered and why that way, so I could actually understand the code (or is there a simpler way to achieve this bolding than the code below?).

Update

Added extra authors, notice that only the selected author (Strombom) is highlighted

compile

lualatex mweb.tex && biber mweb  && lualatex mweb.tex

I compiled this with the above command.

$ lualatex --v

Based on the biblatex documentation, they way to handle this should be author annotations. If this should not only be applied for one sub-bibliography, move the \renewcommands to the preamble.
