I haven't had a chance to review this, but I would appreciate if we can keep in mind how this might affect breaking up the platforms. Right now, the Platform abstraction covers two concepts: 

1. How you connect to a platform and do things like transfer files, list processes, etc.
2. How to debug on a certain platform, which includes things like SDK, shared cache, etc

We ran into this problem when adding the (downstream) `device` command. We had new way to talk to a device (using a private framework) and I really didn't want to create a new macOS, iOS, watchOS, etc platform just for that. So for Xcode 16 we worked around it, but I really want to go back and do it the right way in the near future. I think it should be possible to detangle these two concepts so I want to make sure this patch doesn't make that harder.
