What makes a queerplatonic relationship different from any other platonic relationship?

I'm not 100% sure, but I have heard that platonic is generally just a frienship while queerplatonic is when it is more than that (e.g. wanting to live together) without it being romantic or inherently sexual. Do the terms mean something else to you?
Personally, I feel like queerplantonic is well within what's already described as platonic so it's not particularly useful.
I don't think moving in with someone of any given gender implies romantic or sexual interest, but also don't see platonic as only including up to a certain level of intimacy, especially given that platonic tends to (at least historically) imply a great degree of intimacy.
I'd also be somewhat concerned about prioritizing jargon vs. just being on the same page with Peter. It doesn't really matter if you and him would use the same label to describe the friendship/relationship, so long as you both have roughly the same understanding.
