Apple, you must ride some seriously gnarly trails, dude!

I like clipless mainly for this reason -- when I'm 'attached' to the bike, it's like it becomes part of me, the feedback is exponential. With platforms, I'm just 'on the bike', and don't feel that level of control, or even of being part of the ride. It's just exercise.

It's synergistic, for me -- a bike with clipless is: 1+1 =>3; a bike with platforms is: 1+1 <2.
