But wouldn't removal be more difficult the longer it is left? I need to
check, but I'm almost sure that the instructions for the water heater I
installed earlier this year say to check the anode every six months.

If it were an easy job, I would have no problem. It is not. Typical
instruction also tell you to drain your heater a bit every few months.
That is relatively easy with just the presence of a hose bib and a
valve. Who does even that?

So after all that, I decided to not worry about the and and let the
corrosion do what is natural.
