Even if the trains will never be longer,
having a platform bigger than your train makes the
T/Op's life much less stressful.

... and the passengers' lives more stressful.

How so?

Because they wouldn't know where to stand until the train stops.

No one on the Wimbledon branch seems to mind.

That's because the drivers of the shorter trains carefully stop at the foot
entrance end of every platform. If they treated long platforms as an easy
target on which they can lazily stop anywhere, the passengers would mind.
