according to this chart, you would get $10 food and beverage credit as a platinum not free breakfast at Marriott Hotels. Am I not understanding correctly?

It's unfortunate the chart is so unclear, but I believe people are misreading it. It adds a breakfast benefit at resorts
as a welcome gift, and reflects continuation of the current breakfast benefit at FS, JW, Marriott, Ren, Autograph, etc., which is in addition to the welcome gift, and is as follows:
Enjoy refreshments and complimentary breakfast for you and one guest in the lounge. In the U.S. and Canada, at hotels without a lounge or if the lounge is closed, you’ll have a choice of continental breakfast in the restaurant or 750 points. In Europe, hotels without a lounge offer a choice of breakfast for two in the restaurant or 750 points.
In other words, at resorts, which previously did not offer breakfast, the breakfast will be one of the welcome gift options. This is exactly how SPG currently handles the breakfast benefit.
At FS Marriott (and JW, Autograph, and Ren) the breakfast has always been in addition to the welcome gift.
