dockerfile --platform option of the FROM instruction not work

Docker version: enter image description here

my base_image with multiple architecture: enter image description here

Dockerfile:
I use FROM --platform=linux/arm64 ${base_image} to force use the arm64 image but it does not work. Then I checked the image on this machine and found the arch of the image is amd64, so I doubt it has something to do with the local image.

so I change the base_image force to arm64 and re-build:
Magic happens!!! enter image description here

So, my question is why --platform of FROM does not work? Why docker does not perform docker pull --platform instead it depends on my local machine image.

PS: I'm sorry I had to desensitize some sensitive words and it will affect your reading.

The --platform parameter was introduced in buildkit, and I tend to recommend that for most builds now:

With the classic builder, it will default to the already existing image on the host, and only pull a new one when the image doesn't exist or when you specify --pull:
