The bug
On bedrock edition when you mine a respawn anchor with silk touch, it will store its charges. This is also visible on the texture of the item, when you then place it again, it will still have the charges. However this is not the case in java. On java it will lose the charges when mined with silk touch. According to https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360043896251-Minecraft-Beta-1-16-0-63-Xbox-One-Windows-10-Android-, the bedrock behavior is intentional.
How to reproduce:
Place a respawn anchor
Charge it with glowstone
Get a silk touch pickaxe
Mine it in survival mode
Place it again
❌ All of the charges are gone.

Why is it "Works As Intended"? I do not understand.
The linked sentence also says "Silk touch enchant now works on Respawn Anchor", and the priority is set normal, that is, if you recognize it as a bug.
but I don't think it should marked as "working as intended".
Even if Bedrock side bug's report, Probably, it will return "Works As Intended" or "Won't Fix".
Based on the above, please so resume please.
When I first saw this post, I thought it was meant to be a bedrock edition bug. You may want to revise the post so that an admin doesn't think the same thing and mistakenly move or close the report.
Also, you may want to submit this to the suggested features forum as well. That way it is more likely to get noticed.
