Description
Today when trying to remove a platform, I used: tns platform rm android. This is wrong, but look at the response:
First, it doesn't say my command is wrong, just that the command doesn't accept parameters. Secondly it shows platform list, but why not the rest of the subcommands?

Reproduce tns platform rm android and inspect the CLI handling for the platform command and its subcommands. The finished change should clearly report that the command is invalid and show the available platform subcommands rather than only the platform list.
