I wouldn't be surprised if their plan is to keep compatible with 5.1 and adopt newer features where feasible/compatible. Luau, another language with the explicit goal of extending …

No. Many legal cases were brought against Roblox due to these claims. Roblox implemented their new safety and age checks, and since then, none of these cases have progressed since …
