Is there any reason at all, except incompetence, why British railways
could not do the same?

German stations usually have more platforms than UK ones - but Euston
is a bit of an exception, as it could quite happily work with fewer
than the 17 it has.

Notably, the commuter operation practically never has platform
alterations, and the diagrammed platforms are displayed well in
advance. This allows one to go to the platform at leisure and spread
along it ready for the train to arrive. Far better.
