Light leaks are also uncommon on a non-broken film camera. You need to remember that film is sensitive to light from the moment it's manufactured up until it is developed, so a film camera into which light can intrude at all is unacceptable, other wise you wouldn't be able to use the thing outside.
Digital cameras, on the other hand, hardly require light sealing at all.
The sensor is fixed in place inside the mirror box, and is only sensitive to light whilst an exposure is being made, during which it's safe to assume the overwhelming majority of the incoming light will be via the lense.
The problem is when you make a very long exposure, the ratio of light coming through the lense to light leaking in through the mount or viewfinder or buttons or whatever might be very different, leading to that kind of result.
It's purple, because most digital cameras are black plastic, which reflects mostly light towards the ultraviolet end of the spectrum.
