In many outside sections, the platforms happen to be longer than the
trains anyway, and markers are needed so that they stay at the
entrance end.


I think all of the lines mentioned rely on platform-mounted monitors
and mirrors for checking the doors (save Overground, which has
guards), and the train also needs to be lined up with the Correct Side
Door Enable transmitter, so the driver doesn't have a lot of choice in
where they stop.


At Moorgate (Circle/H+C/Met), which I use daily, there are two
separate sets of monitors/mirrors for westbound trains (one for the
longer Met trains and one for the rest).
