"anycast does not route to the geographically nearest datacenter but the topologically nearest."
That is correct, and as you point out in a later comment -- in roughly perhaps 85-90% the geographic route and the topological route will be identical and ideal. In the other 10-15% cases some additional network engineering can be done to work with a problem ISP to correct the less than ideal routing for a customer.
