I'm just going to set it straight.

Star Platinum is confirmed faster, stronger, and more durable. Act 4 is not as confirmed. The stats do not lie, and the story does not lie. Act 4 has the downside of not being shown enough to see it's complete potential, but Star Platinum has been covered plenty. We know how fast Star Platinum can be over many times, but Act 4 isn't the same. Act 4 isn't a "snail", but it sure as hell hasn't been said to go over the speed of light. Act 4 isn't weak, but it also hasn't been said to be the strongest stand (unlike Star Platinum).

Jotaro is the kind of person that got more reasonable the older he got. In his first encounter with Crazy Diamond, when he was about to be hit, instead of using Star Platinum to block or move out of the way (which he could if he needed to), he used Time Stop. So depending on what generation of Jotaro we use, it could go differently.

It's not technically confirmed that touching Act 4 in general induces the Super Spin, but it doesn't matter because the moment Jotaro can't move his body due to the Super Spin ruining his body, he can just stop time and finish the job with Star Platinum. Timestop most definitely could stop infinity itself because timestop allowed for Act 4 to stop; a stand that can pass infinite protection.

And my last point, Act 4 is a pain to activate, and Jotaro being aggressive can really be a problem for someone like Johnny that needs range and time to set up.
