My comment was not on the necessity of BBs at Anegada, rather contrasting that we are back to people having to (or feeling they have to) jump on them early.

A long ways from our three previous covid trips where the problem was more that people were squatting on them and depriving the businesses of what little money they had coming in. The boaty ball system relies on them being fully occupied for enforcement.

We've been here many times in November, I would say it's comparably busy now to years past.
