Remember, you are not the intended audience of most gun publications.
Car magazines do the same thing.
Like "drop in an engine", or do a "drive train swap", like those are something done in an afternoon, with a few tools from the hardware store.

As for the term "platform" it can be used to describe the variations of guns sharing a near identical design, like difference in calibers, size and such, all based on one manufacturer's product line.
That's ok, really.
