In summary

Ultimately the same as platt (“flat”), although the motivation seems not to be quite clear; possibly the geographically low areas of Germany as in Niederdeutsch (“Low German”), or else “not elevated, ordinary, simple” speech. Cognate to Dutch plat n (“dialect”), Central Franconian Platt (“dialect”), Low German Platt n (“Low German”)
