This is a question of fact and there is a whole world where reality takes place and one can take away facts based on those realities. And in the general world there are people who are in platonic relationships and they keep it so not because anything is preventing them from changing the nature of the relationship, but precisely the opposite. And that is that the nature of a romantic relationship is completely different from that of a platonic one, people are in platonic relationships that go on for years. And in the general world where there are much more people interested in romantic relationships over platonic ones, a platonic relationship is harder to find and much less common.
However if the question is in regard to yidden where a romantic relationship is assur, it is much more likely that using the term platonic does not mean that is the true intnetion.
