I can confirm that the swampland downfall has been changed to 0.9 to match Java Edition. However, the swampland_mutated downfall has not been fixed. This is reported as MCPE-189877.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Working as Intended.
The requested change is on a legacy biome which is as such version locked.

I am not sure Works As Intended is the correct resolution for this bug. This is because, even in version-locked worlds, the swampland downfall has changed from 0.5 to 0.9 in 1.21.60.27.
1.21.60.27 causes a mismatch between swamp sub-biome properties in version-locked worlds. The swampland_mutated downfall should be updated specifically to fix version-locked worlds, because otherwise, 1.21.60 will introduce a weird inconsistency.
