"cordova restore platforms" will not be able to restore windows on a
Mac, it basically
delegates to "cordova add" which will fail. Unfortunately, it will stop
platform restoration after first failed platform which I think should
not be the case [1].

I think the ultimate goal with cordova restore is to make it part of the
prepare cycle and remove plugins and platforms folders. In such a
setting restoring platforms that we can not cater on a host OS will
probably cause more harm.

I can see some cases where this could be a useful feature but I do not think
they are part of the main flow. Perhaps a --force flag can be added for
this one?
