ANC's situation is well known because so many travelers use that location.

So you can't use datapoints to prove things as easily about non-airport locations like you can about airport locations.
Well, you had specifically said: "So don't assume you always get miles for airport locations!" Avis AK is the only place I know that to be universally true where renting at an airport doesn't qualify you to earn miles. My point is that aside from AK (ANC/FAI/JNU/etc.), normal Avis policies regarding crediting miles generally apply, whether that means you do or don't get credit off-airport or whatever.
