How many heated pitots are there on the upstream of each engine ? 1 or 2 ?
That would make 2 to 4 more than the existing 3 airframe-pitots for a total of 5 to 7.

This could be useful IAS data that could be made available to the Flight management computers and pilots.

Since the engines seem to have performed flawlessly at TOGA, high altitude, and at high AOA I would presume some useful data for the computers to help with valid data correlation.
