I don't want to argue the semantics. Beyond that, I did note that windows is a platform, so obviously there are exceptions. In any case, the implication of "platform" in the sense that I (and pg, in 2008) used it implies that the ecosystem transcends the platform. Salesforce is a platform in a sense, but it can only go so far. That is possible, for a private platform, but unlikely. OSS has, empirically, been much more amenable to this sort of thing.
