Agreed......Currently Vishy Anand is refusing to use or even discuss Computer analysis as he covers the Worlds Championship match games in real time (FIDE)...He's caused quite a bit of frustration in the live Chat with people using their home computers to come up with evaluations...It's quite strange as I read somewhere he was known for extensive use of computers for his opening preparation...
One could (perhaps rightly) argue that THOSE people just need to go to chessbomb.com and join in with those who flock there to look for the various shades of 'red' and at all the engine lines to shout "BLUNDER" when something is played the demigod does not believe in.
Also, there is quite a difference in using engines for analysis to prep lines for a possible OTB game and using one during a game...even for analysis when you have the likes of Vishy who actually knows more about the game and match play than an engine? That is, after all, the reason he is there. I see no conflict. Someone looking for it probably could though.

As Anand has said in the commentary, engines tend to cut off discussion. If it hates a move, you often don’t ask “why?”, get lazy and just look elsewhere. I much prefer watching Vishy and Anna work through the position on their own. It is similar to my own practice of calculating without a computer, then checking my results with one.
Fat Titz by Stockfish, the engine with the bodaciously big net. Remember: size matters. If you want to learn more about this engine just google for "Fat Titz".
