There’s also —plat-name argument for the setuptools command, but that doesn’t work.

I’d have to rename the platform tag from “any” to a list of supported platforms, is that correct?

That would give a pretty convoluted filename, because the platform tag doesn’t allow for wildcards. That is, there is no way to specify “any linux”, only something like “linux_x86_64” (to borrow a tag from PEP 425).
