It’s not an electric heater, it blows engine core air from the compressor into the inlet lip.

And sensing icing on an inlet isn’t as simple as you make it out to be.

So humans are supposed to be able to do it (within five minutes) with the sensor data already available to them, but it's not easy to make a sensor do it automatically?

Maybe this is overly optimistic, but I'm confident they could figure out something if they wanted to.

Great, that doesn't change the fact that there are many ways of ensuring a structure doesn't overhead and explode.
