highway=platform is a tag that goes on a way, just like railway=platform. public_transport=platform can go on both ways and nodes. If on a node next to the highway/railway, public_transport=platform/bus=yes is the equivalent of highway=bus_stop and public_transport=platform/tram=yes is the equivalent of railway=tram_stop
There are also public_transport=stop_position combined with higway=bus_stop as nodes of highways. I think we should convert those to public_transport=platform/bus=yes/highway=bus_stop positioned next to the highways. Thanks for looking into this. I had already stopped caring about it and resorted to simply double tagging everything. Ilya Zverev even proposed to simply drop the "new" public_transport scheme and revert back to highway=bus_stop/railway=tram_stop in large part because it's not getting rendered. At some point I thought this whole scheme was a good idea, but it resulted in wiki pages saying that every stop supposedly needs to be mapped twice (once on the highway and once next to it) and added to all route relations twice, which to me seems absurd, but OK, I've given up on caring about that as well.
