This could easily be due to the canopies covering a good portion of the platforms' area; presumably only the platform approaches and edges will have to be heavily cleared/salted in most cases.
Unfortunately not true. I walked through Seagram station a couple of days ago and I could hardly tell there was a canopy there.
Incidentally I walked through because that is the best and most direct route to follow the path along the tracks — cross the southbound track at Seagram, then walk along the platform, cross the northbound track at the new pedestrian crossing and continue through the opening in the fence to the path. Also, there is no indication that anything about that route is closed, other than the absence of deck plates at the crossing immediately south of the station.
