Fair question, and no you’re not missing steps. Abstract existing isn’t the whole claim. A number sitting out there being true doesn’t govern anything, it just is. What turns “true in the abstract” into “binding on every atom in the universe with zero exceptions” is a mind. Laws need a lawgiver, not just a fact needing a filing cabinet. Platonism gets you the abstraction. It doesn’t get you the universal enforcement. That’s the part that needs a mind behind it, not just a shelf for it to sit on.
