In the way some people are asexual or aromantic, some people are aplatonic and don’t have a desire for friendship or a capability to feel friendship. However, most people don’t consider their platonic orientation, so you don’t have to chose to label how you experience Platonic attraction if you don't want to.

But if you wanted to label your platonic orientation, a panplatonic person would be someone who regularly feels platonic attraction (friendship) towards individuals regardless of gender.

Other options you could go with are alloplatonic (someone who feels platonic attraction/friendship) or friendship-favorable.

Biplatonic would be feeling platonic attraction/friendship towards two or more genders. They could be alloplatonic (feels platonic attraction) or biplatonic.

Traditionally bi was liking two genders or liking boys/men and girls/women. The definition was updated at some point to be 2 or more genders. Sometimes bi is also described as being attracted to the same gender and genders that differ from one's self.

Idk when it changed, but it likely changed to be more accepting/progressive and because there are people using bi as an umbrella term when the actual umbrella term that should be used is multisexual.
