Is it hard to get approved for a Platinum as your first Amex card?

No

Old news.

Is this only for the platinum personal card? I see no such notice on my Platinum biz card.

I just chatted with amex to downgrade a card and they told me that it is only possible to do after 12 months. Is this a new policy. If yes, is it hardcoded or HUCA?

Free-first-year cards are hard to downgrade, it has been done but it's quite rare.

No, though downgrading within 3 months has been cited by amex as an excuse to confiscate points.
