You aren't winning if you can't score those balls and the other alliance has more points.
They most certainly can pin you or block you from scoring at the end. It's worth not having the extra 15 points to block a potential 95 (robot on platform, assuming two others already on, + 80 balls in bin, assuming no shooter on your bot). No one says you have to go on the platform at any time in the match.
