Nothing to do with bleed temps, just Airbus chose not to certify use of APU bleed for wing anti-ice on the A320 wheres Boeing did (with conditions).

Most of it is to do with continuous output being not sufficent through the flight envelope (from the APU) wheras it is from the engines when serviceable.

That's my understanding.
