One interesting correlation I found is that the rubber tyre metro’s also have platform doors, and the steel wheel metro’s dont have doors on the platforms.

Not really. AFAIK there are platform doors on lines 1, 4, 14 and 13.
Lines 1, 4 and 14 have rubber tyres and platform doors because they are fully automated (or in the case of line 4 in the process of being fully automated). So far Paris only fully automates rubber tyres lines.
Line 13 has classic metal tyres and is only semi-automated, but it has platform doors because it is very high traffic. Most Parisians avoid line 13 at rush hours because it is probably the most packed line in the city.
