I guarantee if they dropped the anchors when they originally lost power, lives would have been saved. And that bridge would still be erected.

Apparently they did drop anchor, although not sure at what point:

Dragging it along the bottom would take miles to stop, if it didn't catch onto something and snap off.

This. the amount of energy a boat of that size has moving even at low speeds is insane. The anchor cannot stop it. they are basically fuked if there are mechanical problems with the engine either going off or full throttle at the wrong moment.

The anchor's job is to keep the boat from drifting in the seas when it is at a standstill. It is not a brake.

Ever thought that maybe that's done as a risk mitigation action that *could* potentially help in the right conditions?

Here is a large ship doing an emergency stop with its anchor and chain.
Let’s not forget the chain combined weight is at least 3x the weight as an anchor.
And there are multiple anchors.

They won't build a tunnel to handle tractor trailers on one of the most major thoroughfares in the US. They won't spend 10 years re-engineering the area to become home to a tunnel. There's a reason the bridge was there in the first place.
