Anytime you have a large site you will have vandalism. There are better ways to fight it other than locking the site (which means disabling anon). Locking the site is a very lazy solution to a very small problem. As I look at logs of pages anons did not vandalize nearly as much as registered users. To address the "making an account is easy" thing, most people that edit anonymously don't want to go through the hassle of creating a username and password just to make a few edits. Also we still have the power to block anons, limit what they can and cant do, and treat them like every other user. Before anon was disabled there was not alot of vandalism that couldn't be taken care of easily, or have been automatically blocked.
