[frankthedm]

But the line "hardly fair for a demon" just cracks me up

T'was intended.

I recognize that it is an exception in the RAW, but a summoned creature is brought from one plane of existence to another, and so it makes no sense that the dimension anchor wouldn't work.

And, please explain how the comparison is inappropriate?

The Summon is the end of the duration of a spell. Dimensional Anchor does not extend the duration of the Summoning spell.

From the Dimensional Anchor spell itself:

Also, dimensional anchor does not prevent summoned creatures from disappearing at the end of a summoning spell.

Because [Summoning] IS A SUBSCHOOL with specific rules. A Conjuration [Creation] spell is different from a Conjuration [Teleportation] spell. You can't fake invisibility with [Figment] spells, etc. Subschools exist for the sole purpose of making rules (and maybe flavor) distinctions.
