In general I do not like how many use them to provide extreme snub protection. But if you remove these there needs to be a few things added and changed in return.

Something like POBs armour modules, maybe? Increases HP point by every module constructed?

Just replace the on-station turrets with Cerbs and Pulses and you don't need platforms.

I want defense platforms and pobs to be properly regulated by server rules and house laws, with actually important and useful advice in the pob building tutorial.

Why shouldn't a player or company be able to protect their POB with the necessary defences available if they have the credits, resources and time to develop them!

Because they are supposed to be playing the game, logging to shoot anyone threatening their bases thus creating player interactions in multiplayer game.
Weapon Platforms are causing people to run from PvP and circle around POB instead of running away properly to avoid PvP death and thus not cause so much grief. Or to simply dock to deny blue message but still allow partial feeling of win-win, where one side doesn't get shot down but the other side sees it as combat superiority.

I honestly only feel one way! It sounds like attacks need to be a little more organised on POB's then! If folks are scared of PvP death don't be going and attacking a POB!

Given that a lot of the sieges intentionally attack when they know that the owners are not available to defend, your argument seems somewhat cherry picked.
