That is indeed why.  When it was opened, what little seating there was
(3 rows of 4 at the platform 14 end, and two rows of 3 at the other
end, if I recall rightly) was removed from the platforms themselves.

It was a good idea in principle, though I don't know how well-used it
is, and it seems to be closed at night which is likely to be the time
when those platforms are at their coldest and most windswept.
