Yes, bending fiber in that way is generally acceptable.

They upgraded the old house and former tenant, adding fibre to it. It seems they lack knowledge about networking, but I believe fibre optics are delicate and bending should be avoided. I don’t have the resources to test it, yet fibre itself is inexpensive, while the work required is costly.
It works well enough. I wouldn't venture out if you had a way to make it, but a loose loop is acceptable. That's the intended purpose.
It doesn't seem too bad overall. It varies by fiber type, but most can bend well without any problems.
I put fiber in my driveway for a whole month before AT&T covered it up. I walked over it many times each day. It’s not delicate.
Sure, just avoid anything sharper than a 70 or 80-degree angle. It begins to weaken the signal since light behaves strangely.
In the installation environment, this process is referred to as a service loop. It's mainly used to simplify the movement of equipment or the replacement of cabling. Very typical for ISPs when setting up new cable connections.
Single mode fiber won't start losing signal until you start bending it around a penil. After that, it's likely to break.
