Briefly at Keflavik

So the flight I was on had a declared medical emergency. We divert to Keflavik, Iceland. The passenger is rolled off the plane and we refuel (because there was a fuel dump so they could land the 777). While we were refueling, a storm front blew in and began to dump snow on us. So we needed to be de-iced.

Why is it that in Iceland, they can de-ice us at the gate and then let us on our merry way while at DEN, they roll us to a remote site and make planes queue for over an hour?
