It still is the most recent demo so it should represent the latest build. Why would they use an older build for a new demo. For all we know the latest build runs like this the entire time and that's not remotely impressive. Well we shall see September the 30th, but I think the performance off this game might not be a smooth 30fps experience which should be the bare minimum.

this demo can't "represent the latest build", because it's content (apart from alot of the assets and stuff) is not in the final game

spending time on polishing the scenes of this demo takes time away from polishing up the full game, so I think they released it in a "just good enough" state

So what does it matters if the demo is not part of the final game? That's just a maketing decision. It was probably part of the game at some point. Regardless, It still uses the same engine and assets, and they surely polished things out as much as they could for the event. No one in their right mind wants to show an unpolished demo, might as well just show another part of the game if it has any more polish. If anything the demo might run better than the actual current build of the game as there probably was a lot of presure to work on the demo itself even beyond the rest of the game, given that it was the part that was going to shown.
