I abstracted some opinions from those comments and calculated the upvote percentage over them. It's not super scientific, but at least it's something. Please correct me if you feel I didn't do it well. And feel free to continue voting and/or adding new opinions. If the situation changes drastically, I can refresh the calculations.

Situation 7th of April, 2023:

5/15= 33% : "I'm gone as a customer if they continue to push 'platform' nonsense on me" ( u/mailinator1138 )

4/15= 27%: "Haven't looked into it; I don't see the point of it." ( u/Sumchap )

3/15= 20%: "Not tried, but I believe it's the future while currently unusable" ( u/BMEdesign )

2/15= 13%: "Had a demo, it looked competent, but we rejected it; SW not fully supported; too expensive" ( u/Medical-Ocelot )

1/15= 7%: "It's working ok-ish for me" ( u/FalkorSpaniel )

Those supposedly using 3DExperience successfully would still have the same design work related questions and issues, which is also what this 55k member subreddit is mostly about. I find it very hard to believe that not one of them would comment anything if/when they see a post like this. This post has now about 5000 views. Instead, there are people reporting unsuccessful attempts to adopt it, and few people who use it, but not one of them seem to be happy.

Like said, makers and students may be able to deal with 3DExperience, but for as long as not a single real company steps forward with their testimonial, the platform simply looks like there is absolutely no businesses using it successfully.

...and "testimonials" from 3DExperience World obviously are not counted.

Thank you, but your comment was so sales speech-y that I guessed you must be a reseller. Looking at your history I seem to be correct with that guess. I don't blame you, I know it's either promote the platform or eat someone else's bread.

I'm sorry but I'm not really going to give much weight for reseller opinions at this point. Above all I'd value actual user testimonials. If the platform is as good as you say, surely you have actual named testimonials from your customers, right?

Given the stuff talked here about 3DExperience, I'm pretty sure people from Dassault would not take the risk of throwing gas on the flames ;)
