Honestly, I don't want to rely on app developers implementing this. I would rather have just the one button, and when I get to the Facebook app, then have a big black "log in anonymously" button.

Probably don't want to do this because it would break a whole bunch of facebook apps, just like disabling permissions after the fact with android apps breaks them too.
They'll probably introduce that reality once 'anonymous' mode has been established and depreciate assumed permissions as time goes on.

I understand that perspective, but at least in my case when I see the Facebook login button, it's already an immediate "Nope" for me. I would never see the black button or know it exists.
There's no doubt that Facebook knows who you are even if you use the "Anonymous" login. This just allows a user of RandomApp#100 to login without giving the app everything on their Facebook before they even try it.
Also even with anonymous login, you can later choose to give the app your real info if you trust it more or find it useful.
Do I like Facebook-only login? No. However, this does give the user some more choice as to how much is shared with those apps up front.
