Exactly but forgive my stupidness why just the LE of the wing and not say the LE of the elevator.
Mostly (not all) aircraft the wing LE is the most sensitive to contamination and is likely to contribute to stall long before the tail.

In spite of this there are always fresh arguments in some aircraft types whether the un-deiced tail contributed
