It's DVD release was on shelves for the longest of any DAC (if I'm correct in my thinking), and you can't just go erase history and retract all of those. They might have taken it out of the RE-RELEASE line, but since it was already released it will forever be a part of the (original) Platinum Edition line.
You're right, but apparently some official Disney websites do try to erase history and have removed "Aladdin" from the line-up. They have this timeline of Platinums where there's just blank space next to 2004. There's a picture of it somewhere on UD.

Right at the beginning of the movie, the narrator says he has to be loved before his 21st birthday, but in Be Our Guest they say it's been "10 years since [they've] had anybody [there]". No way the thing happened when he was 11. I'm sure you all know about it by now, but Aladdin's little story hole seems minor compared to that!
Here's how I tried to explain that goof. I wrote this on BatB's IMDb board:
21 years before the film's beginning
- the prince is, let's say, 18 years old or even older
- the Enchantress casts the spell on the prince to last for 21 years ("The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year")
- nobody in the castle ages under the effect of the spell (which would explain Chip's age - he couldn't have been born as a cup, nor does he seem to be 10, more like 6 or 7)
- during first 11 years there are 1 or 2 visitors
- castle and its inhabitants fall into oblivion
- there are no visitors for 10 years
Film begins
- Belle comes to the castle
- in "Be Our Guest" Lumiere says they hadn't had visitors for ten years and that the rose had begun to wilt (because the end of those 21 years is near)
- Belle and the Beast fall in love and break the spell
- the Prince and everybody else is returned to their previous state and age
Sorry for turning this into BatB discussion
