Caught the Bug
In parts that are not solidly connected such as splined shafts, sliding pins, and etc. the constant vibration and moving of the two parts can wear faster due to anti seize. Anti seize was designed for parts that are solid connection such as a bolt. Grease was designed for parts that are moving.
This doesn't mean that it won't work in other applications like others have said here, however there is a proper tool for every job. A crescent will work but you should be using a wrench....
Chiming in with your 16th post - that's cool and btw welcome to WAL! I would like to see the data on how anti-seize which is basically grease mixed with soft metals wears hardened pins and bushings that have a boatload of clearance (guessing a good .005" to .010") and move maybe .050" when the brakes are applied and released. The only wear is when the pin and bushing rub against each other, because they are the same hardness. The soft metal in anti-seize helps keep the pin suspended or supported in the grease preventing hard metal to hard metal contact, friction and galling which causes the seized condition that we have been discussing.
