The 747 has only wing l/edge deicing none on vertical or horizontal stab - same with Tristar.The old Viscount was a turboprop that was susceptible to stab icing - more than one hull loss if I remember even with stab deicing[hot air].Never had an explanation for the different philosophies but I think the replies given are about right
