Platonism refers to the inference system component of the human decision problem, while the notion of things being real refers to the outcome (reality) concept (defined with respect to this inference system). People could turn out being able to reason about infinite, but without the infinite being real (i.e. reality being infinite). Infinite could, for example, help to model uncertainty about the world.
