Engine to engine isolation is a regulatory requirement, so you don't want a single failure (e.g. the engine anti-ice switch) to affect both engines. And the EAI systems are completely independent for each engine - no common ties.
Wing Anti-Ice is a single system - and as others have mentioned you would not want to have asymmetric wing icing - better to have it all off than to have it off on one side.
