You'd still need the barge to bring back the booster, plus the tug to pull the barge (and now a crane to transfer the booster from a fixed platform to the barge at sea). Not much benefit to stick a platform in the ocean when the barge serves that purpose sufficiently.
Edit: I'm unsure if you'd want to waste an engine firing on a boostback to the launchpad. Way above my domain knowledge though.
