The issue here is not the number of each individual tier members but the availability of upgrades.
In the world ancillary sales You think airlines are adding free upgrades? No. They are adding upgrades for sale and free upgrades few left for too many Plats/Golds.

So they must change upgrade policy to YBHKMP or drop amount of tier members. I dont see Platinum as a top tier level if one DUS flight has around 10 Platinums sitting in Y and more in C. It sounds like SIlver status.
Or on OUL flight first 8 rows are Platinums only.
