I signed my review but still got thanked as "anonymous reviewer" both in the acknowledgements and in a footnote thanking me for a specific recommendation.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think it is a bad idea to start acknowledging reviewers by name, even if they sign review. Given that reviewer has power to make or break an article, do we want them to start angling for acknowledgement?

Not saying you were angling for acknowledgement, obviously, but if this becomes a widespread practice, it will happen.

But I wasn't anonymous, right? Would have been happier of described as just reviewer, maybe? Not sure. Seems strange though TBH.

*if described What do you think is bad about putting reviewer names in the article, though?

A reviewer has the power to accept or reject your paper, so could use that power to "encourage" you to accept their suggestion and acknowledge it.

I mean, if reviewers will hold up your manuscript until you add multiple citations to their papers, why wouldn't they do this?

They do this already. At least in my field.

Absolutely! So even though I know your situation arose more organically, and it does seem like an appropriate thing to acknowledge, the precedent concerns me.....
