As someone who's been grinding out runs for this game since release, and currently hold the WR (posting very soon!), I don't think easy platforms should be allowed. I feel like with this run already being fairly straight forward that the timed platforms in the Gorgon stage are a challenging and fun way for runners to demonstrate their movement skills, and it would (for me personally) take a lot of the fun and difficulty out of the run if they could just be disabled.
I've sunk 100+ runs into this game so far, and I'd argue that if anything the most annoying part of the run is getting softlocked and having to full reset. I sort of wish we had a Discord or something where we could more easily share our discoveries and interesting findings within the game with fellow runners, because I've personally found a bunch of skips and optimizations, as well as bugs and quirks that might end up being useful.
I'm not entirely opposed to this change, but I just wanted to share my thoughts and opinions as well. <3
