There has been a long stated though poorly communicated goal of phasing out the use of PLATFORM() macros in favor of the more targeted ones. The comment above the definition has read for quite a while:

/* ==== PLATFORM handles OS, operating environment, graphics API, and
   CPU. This macro will be phased out in favor of platform adaptation
   macros, policy decision macros, and top-level port definitions. ==== */
