What is the purpose of specifying a C file in `declare-function'?
Is it for platform-specific primitives?

Yes. For example, `make-symbolic-link' throws warnings on Windows, as
do several x-* functions. Same for `w32-*' functions on non-Windows
builds.

BTW, `make-symbol-link' should be defined on Windows as well. It may
signal an error, but it should be defined so that e.g. Tramp can make it
work on remote hosts.
