`GetPlatform` called via gRPC does not force to update the indices

Bug Report

Current behavior

Call GetPlatform with all=true on a clean system does not force to update the indices.

Expected behavior

It forces the update (exactly as it's done if calling via command-line core list --all

Environment

• CLI version (output of arduino-cli version): 0.19.2 commit 6a6f50ae
• OS and platform: Alpine linux

Additional context

Looking into the source code i can't see any difference except missing instance.CreateAndInit() call.

In my case i do call create + init requests before requesting the subscriptions.

PS. Using custom data path in config file (not sure if it makes a difference)

During the init i do get an error about missing index (but just ignore it):

error: {
  code: 9
  message: Loading index file: loading json index file /root/project/data/package_index.json: open /root/project/data/package_index.json: no such file or directory
}

Clean data dir to reproduce

GetPlatform does not update the index by design. We won't change that.
By the way downloading the indexes during the first start is something that we should implement.
I'm keeping this issue open to track this task.
