Hello, You might find answers in the documentation: https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Versions/11.0/Sell/Administration_Guide/Developer_Tools/#Configure_API_Platforms 
 "Developers use the platform parameter to distinguish their custom platform from other clients when using the Sugar API. For example, when a user accesses Sugar via the desktop client and the mobile client simultaneously without being logged out of either, it is because the API recognizes that they are different platforms due to their unique platform identifiers. The platform identifier also makes it easy for a Sugar administrator to configure which API platforms are allowed to access their instance via Admin > Configure API Platforms. "

Let me improve answer from Dmytro. 
 Custom platform also enable developers to override endpoints for a specific platform, for example: 
 
 You can disallow specific users to authenticate in a given platform 
 You can modify the behavior of any endpoint under a specific platform.
