"Upgrades are subject to availability AND identified by each hotel"
By more generous I mean that platinums actually receive something that golds don't receive. I think many platinums have complained about this before. There isn't much difference between gold and platinum, especially with so many golds by virtue of United or SPG. Restricting a gold's upgrade to non-suites is an enhancement for platinums.
And we can argue about what "identified by each hotel" means, but if a suite is available then it is more difficult for a property to claim they don't have to do suite upgrades, especially if you've booked the highest category regular room.
