Why
If we ever want to do anything OS-specific on the web side (for example, prompt Linux users to download the latest client), it's necessary to know which platform we're on. While we can potentially infer that from the user agent, I'd rather this be an explicit part of the API for ease of use and consistency (on the off-chance the heuristic we use differs from what Node uses).
