1. The Meatball is only post BoC,because it requires Tissue Samples,however Blood Butcherer is not,as it only takes a few crimtane bars to make. They might be the same ore tier,but are separated by one whole boss,which explains the difference in rarity.

2. Platinum is really early pre-hardmode,because it's a ore that you get to prepare for BoC or EoC,and that you can first encounter well before the bosses.

3. Crimtane is actually mid pre-hardmode,and there are lots of things that come after it on pre-hardmode. The dungeon usually contains Tier 2 to Tier 3 items. The molten tier is also Tier 3. Reforging molten items brings you to Tier 4,which is the tier of the early hardmode ores,which would be right,because molten is literally the last ore to get before hardmode.
