Breakfast for Platinum Elite and higher varies by brand.
At Westin (and most other SPG legacy brands), daily breakfast in the restaurant for member+1 is a Platinum Elite welcome gift option. It's a generous welcome gift option, but if you pick it, that's your welcome gift. You're not also entitled to points, or a USD$10 F&B credit, or an amenity. If there's a lounge, you get lounge access too. But lounge access is not a guaranteed benefit at Westin, so there's no alternative if there's no lounge.
For an overview of Platinum Elite breakfast benefits by brand, see the wiki at the top of the following thread:
