If you taxi around all the time with the engine anti-ice turned on, even on 90 degree summer days, the heat will eventually cause the composite engine inlet faring to disintegrate and pieces could be ingested into the engine. But it takes a very long time of abuse of the engine anti-ice system for this to happen.
The short term solution is don't turn on engine anti-ice when it's not needed, like the flight manual says.
The long term solution is to add sensors to the engine cowls to detect icing conditions, and to turn off the engine anti-ice heat when it is not needed.

So those pilots don’t really know what all those hundreds of buttons are really for so they?

I think you correctly stated what should and need to be done and in case the pilot ignors this or falls down on the job, a good solution would be to make it automatic.I think it wouldn’t be too complicated having a switch amongst many others in the cockpit which states DE-ICING OFF-ON in case there is a need for it.
