Engine failure MUST be considered,

Anti-Ice use MUST be considered IF icing conditions exist,

Both of these pale into insignificance (usually) when depressurisation on passenger carrying aircraft is considered for flight over high terrain. The Net ceiling for most RPT Jet aircraft with engine inop and Anti-Ice ON is usually well above altitudes tolerable after depressurisation. Freighters may have a different point of view.
