Tens of thousands of aircraft fly at this altitude daily and their pitot tubes don’t freeze. In fact, most commercial passenger aircraft have heated tubes to rule out single point failure including this one.

Please google and do some research on the freezing problems these pitot tubes had particularly under these type of conditions and then come back and act informed.

Right, and tell me how 10,000 plus daily flights with millions of miles are not falling out of the sky with the same type of pitot tubes.

Its not a manufacturing problem but a pilot problem.
