The anodizing itself is colorless. The black is just part of the dye

I bought a Steyr AUG CQB which has a few holes drilled and tapped after anodizing. It ain't ideal but I did it all the time when I built machines for fabricating semiconductors. These machines cost huge money, millions of $s and were vital parts of production lines that cost hundreds of millions of $s. The customers were very very picky and demanding and knowledgeable. They didn't give it a second thought. I would't give it a second thought.
Anodizing does have something to do with hardening. Aluminum exposed to oxygen forms aluminum oxide, a very hard substance, on it's surface. Anodizing does the same thing but deeper and more evenly than the natural process.
You are correct that anodizing does does heat treat aluminum

The anodizing itself is part of the aluminum. It's a conversion coating

This is ****ing retarded. I have a lower that has exactly this same thing, I'd already forgotten about it until I read this insanity.
