On a surface level repeating the Name surely has an anchor like function on a mental level, but there is much more of it. I respect your opinion, but this is a Buddhist community so it DOES matter what the Buddha said, and meditation is not only a practice to focus mind in many traditions.

"anchor like function" and community standards aside...

The central thing that the technique does. The stillness, clarity etc. For that it doesn't matter at all.
