Could well be proved wrong, but if the TAT is heated on the ground the ECAM will overread the temperature due to the heating and the FADECs and ADCs will then get the wrong temp also. The pitots are not heated to save life. Very high temps would shorten time to failure and cause corrosion which would affect accuracy.
