This is because they will admit arriving (and possibly transiting) business class passengers into the business class section (OWS) of the satellite lounge and they will admit arriving (and possibly transiting) MH Platinum cardholders into the business suite / first class section (OWE) of the satellite lounge.
There are no published arrivals benefits of being a OWE or OWS. MH can and does offer arrivals access to select MH pax and elites to those lounges. If you qualified under those conditions, you would be allowed access.

I was trying to enter an OWE transit/departure lounge as a transit passenger with an onward departing flight as an OWE elite on a OW flight.
Oh sorry, I forgot, you said "a million times" that you were trying to enter as a departing pax! Well, which is it, did you want access on arrival, in which case, MH business or MH elite? Or was it transit on a single through ticket perhaps?
If you arrived in Y, departed domestically in Y on a separate ticket, then you got access to the correct lounge in the domestic wing according to the detailed reply for MH. It's a nice lounge - fresh nasi lemak and noodles of the day - what's not to like?
Feel free to complain to OW and let us know what they say
