Users often find it confusing that cosign download attestation <index> returns an SBOM without much useful data, or that it's unclear where to go to find the data they're looking for (typically, packages).

This is an attempt to fix that by adding a guiding comment to the document pointing them toward the platform-specific image SBOMs, which contain the good stuff.

I'd consider mentioning something like:

"if you downloaded this SBOM with cosign, consider using the --platform flag to retrieve the SBOM for an architecture specific container image"
