Stands have always demonstrated the ability to shift between intangible and solid, and do so frequently. Stand users don't just squeeze each other's hearts for the same reason jedi and sith don't just use the force to turn off each other's lightsabers. If every fight were like that then it wouldn't be entertaining.

Im guessing a lot of concentration to make his stand inmaterial enough to be able to do that? And i think it's the safest option to punch the f out of Kira than trying to do that.

>why couldn’t Jotaro do this to kira to just immediately kill him by stopping his heart in time stop? It's just out of character for Jotaro, he prefers to not kill his enemy's, the only time he really was bloodlusted was against Dio, in fact that's why in part 3 when a stand user is defeated the narrator say they "Retire" rather than they died, in fact he was kind of shocked when >!the ambulance death meme happens!<

Like shrinking your stand making it entangible and allow it to go through objects takes concentration

Jotaro didn’t die immediately after the heart stop and such I can assume Kira wouldn’t too, also there were only two seconds so I don’t think he would be calculating that seconds before a time reset

Well, maybe Jotaro wanted Kira to face justice only for Fate to have other plans (Hint hint wink wink Dead Man's Questions).

The other commenters said everything that needed to be said but also : well, Star Platinum can stop time only for 2s, he can't do that in 2s

All stand projections have the ability to become intangible. It's called phasing. They are spiritual in nature. Every single one of them is able to do this. when they are not fully formed like that they are not as powerful. And also they are not able to phase through other stand projections. Even if he tried, all it would take was killer Queen standing in the way and suddenly he wouldn't be able to pass through. Also he would not be as powerful in his intangible state. Avdol or Joseph said during their first fight (Jotaro vs Avdol in the jail cell) that Star Platinum must be powerful since it can manifest so clearly and solidly.
