I think both Anthem and Fallout 76 are in a terrible place but bad as they may be, 76 still has the Fallout brand attached to it and some people will endure the game drawbacks to savor it.
Anthem may be technically a better game but lost its chance to catch the gamer's interest and I feel it just fell out of people's memories and it can't even be a meme about how bad it is because 76 took that spot already. Even if the game pulls a "Final Fantasy Reborn" they still need to compete with Destiny 2, Warframe and The Resistance.
Let me put this way: I think 76 has a better chance to bring profits than Anthem... assuming the game doesn't steal people's passwords and release it on the web. It's 76 after all.
