Every train does have a designated platform.

Not in my experience


Every train at King's Cross has a booked and timetabled platform. The
signallers will try to get that train into that platform, but when
things are messed up it's not always possible.

Hull Trains have so few services that it wouldn't be a good use of space.

I didn't mean they should be the only TOC on that platform, just that
their trains should always be on the same platform


But adding that constraint makes planning the rest of the timetable more
difficult.
