You're talking about 2 different things. The platform providing refunds doesn't obviate the need for the developer to have the same option.

A developer can issue a refund request on behalf of a user - its just that they can't do the refund themselves because the developer doesn't hold tokens for processing the payment. Doing so gets into issues of PCI and user privacy.
