Without wanting to say that it makes _much_ sense or is worth the effort I tried this two weeks ago because I needed the iOS app on a manager's iPhone but the project's iOS devs were not available. I wanted to add the iOS platform, zip the platforms/ios folder and send it to another iOS developer (no Cordova there) to build it there.
Maybe a deeper - low priority - goal here would be to have the same node scripts on most platforms.
