LR Baggs is clearly not marketing this as an Anthem without the Element kinda thing.

Their marketing suggests that they're doing all sorts of fancy stuff in their preamp. What all that actually is we can only speculate upon. However, the fact of the matter is that this is simpler device than the Anthem. The Anthem has a similar mic, plus a pickup. It has to mix the two sources together. It has to perform a crossover function. It also has noise cancelling features and, I'm sure, some EQ.
Baggs may not be marketing this as an Anthem without a mic, but they aren't making an effort to distance this product from the Anthem. They haven't renamed the microphone, for example; they're still calling it a Tru-Mic.
Yes, there may be more complicated EQ going on here, but overall this is a simpler device than the Anthem and ought to cost less.
Of course, that may not prove to be the case.
