You raise an interesting point (I'll opt to ignore Neil's inflammatory comment above).
The left end of Rosea, as far as I know, lacks any descent anchors. I don't think it needs any. The routes are spread out far and wide, and access via the top track works OK in many cases (though if you've left your gear at the bottom of Raw Prawn you're in for a long walk to get it back).
On the other hand the anchors at the top of P3 of Mug's Alley (shh! don't tell Neil) have reinvigorated that area as the rock above isn't worthwhile and several good routes finish at that ledge.
I expect by the description that anyone doing Spelio Pinnacle (haven't done it myself) would appreciate a better way of getting off than downclimbing the last pitch, but in this case it sounds like part of the adventure (and well described).
I've recently been carrying a short length of rope and a mallion 'in case', but I don't think leaving tat behind is a better answer than placing anchors.
