Personally I think that's an error on their part (although it's
their* style not mine etc. etc.). The relevant issue is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3162">https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3162</a> and no
one said "it's a silly idea" so it's difficult to criticise the
person who's idea it was going forward on that basis.<br>

If it was me I wouldn't change the tagging just to match one
particular renderer - someone might come along and do something
useful with the tag later, but they can only do that if the data's
there. Personally I've tended to do partially-covered station
platforms as "building=roof" (if I've even remembered to do that)
but I might be in a minority of 1 there.<br>
<br>
In the meantime I'm sure that there are lots of maps that show
covered railway platforms - I know that

Looking at Manchester Piccadilly I can see that there are many
opportunities to improve the data and thus the representation,
anyone fancy a mapping party there?<br>

I'm sure that you'd get a few takers for that - might be worth
trying to contact the group that organised the "Joy Diversion" the
other week and see if you can invite attendees to that along.<br>
