Simplicity.

My were lifting off the pedals the first time I went back to platforms and it only took a few minutes of riding to get used to it again. Ever since then my feet lifting has not been an issue any time I ride a bike with platforms.

I do this too sometimes, it is a little uncomfortable but works. It honestly takes at most 30 minutes to get acquainted with platforms and you won't ever think about it again
