1. Why is it a major pain to remove the nails and take the boards out?

And if you left them, you could put loose batt fiberglass over the platform but you wouldn't have a continuous install leading to air transfer between the attic and interior space.

What sounds good to me is pull the nails, stack the boards to one side, blow in insulation on the other side, slide the boards over, install blown in on 2nd side, and finally nail down the boards so that you have attic storage.
