Being a Platonist and a frequentist aren't the same thing, but they correlate because they're both errors in thinking.

The objection to frequentism is that it builds the answer into the solution so the problem actually changes from the original real world problem. This is fine as long as you can test discrepancies between theory and practice, but that's not always going to possible.
