why the f**k are MR boards getting skimmed?

they are not made to be skimmed onto, you take away the whole point of them being moisture resistant if you do, they are designed to be tiled straight onto like tile backers and aqua panels.

wtf goes off on these new builds nowadays does anyone know what the fk they are doing?

I think you know that the shower panel idea is again only likely to stem the problem; leaving the damaged "water resistant" plaster board area could lead to mold and smells; for the water to have gotten behind the tiles and down to the next floor the tray has not been fitted correctly and I suspect more than likely there is a drain plumbing issue for water to appear on the below ceiling.
I would recommend, tray removal, board replacement as for sure after 4 years there could be rot underneath.
