I suppose that is possible, but if this was done using Amazon's Weblab A/B testing system then it is probably just a random selection of accounts that are impacted for now with the rest coming over time.

I wonder if this download restriction is associated with that specific book or by the act of borrowing the book on KU. If that book had been purchased instead of being borrowed would it have the Download & Transfer option available or not?

If this restriction ever comes to me I will probably try buying an inexpensive (or free) book that is part of KU in order to see if that unlocks Download & Transfer for it.
