As per the Image Spec, Platform field is optional.
However the below code will cause a panic at https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/blob/main/internal/platform/platform.go#L40 if there is no platform in the manifest list.

for _, m := range manifests {
if Match(m.Platform, p) {
return m, nil
}
}
