Couldn't you have been downgraded to 4.8, since direct reproduction of existing games classifies as unsafe?

I don't think so. Quality seems much higher than what I remember 4.8 being capable of, there was no message about it and /usage reports Fable. IIRC they dropped the idea of shadow downgrades without users knowing about it.
