If you namespace it to the platform, and later it makes sense to support it
on another device, you will have even more issues.
I think the best approach mentioned is the cordova-plugins repo which is
like the wild-west that is purplecabbage/phonegap-plugins except it is
managed by cordova contributors only.
Another alternative is to create a generic 'preferences' plugin which IS
supported by all platforms, BUT the actual preferences differ between
platforms.
Something like:
navigator.cordovaPreferences.setPreference('iOS-GapBetweenPages",0);
