Yup, platinum chemo exists already too.

Still makes one feel really nauseated by the second time

one of my guesses would be that platinum catalysis is expensive as usual, but recovery of the catalyst from living being would be much worse than equivalent lab seetup, so the cost would not justify.

I mean its still in use anyways, so might aswell choose the most direct and selective method if that is via glycocojugates.

because platinum sucks, and if you want to get real selective, you can tie together antibody and something like diphtheria toxin, but it's not chemistry anymore, that's firmly in biology ballpark
