Pitot tubes

Returning to the subject of pitot tubes.
The manufacturers, I believe in this case Thales, will probably be following a pattern that has been used successfully for years.
One must then ask, why are the A330/340 subject to contamination, if that’s the right word. Could it be their location ? i.e. high/low pressure in the wrong place preventing the drain from functioning correctly.
