I doubt anchor text is the signal removed, their Algorithm relies on that factor a lot, I would expect something like italics, bolds, linking from headings, thinks like that, a minor factor that became useless nowadays and would impact the typical 1-2% of queries. Removing anchor text factor would probably affect every keyword with 3+ words in it, and lots of 3- ones.
