More likely an adaptation to slower speeds. Hauling water or food for a human doesn’t require fleet footedness

These adaptations are much more likely due to selective breeding for compactness and load-carrying ability. Evolution doesn't work all that fast.

Uh, no. More likely due to selective breeding for the donkeys that don’t run away.
