It's a convenience too, as you said. Unique identifiers make locating stolen cars easier. Anyone who has gone down the bicycling rabbit hole has heard a lot of stories about how they couldn't prove a bicycle was theirs and get it back unless they had a unique identifier somewhere on the bicycle that showed it was theirs.
Without a license plate, your black Corvette that you worked to save for and buy would just be one of many in a sea, and you would never get it back, whereas the license plate aids in various ways.
And yes, public roads. We as a community agreed with unique identifiers on the shared road, just like we agreed with reaching a certain age of maturity to be able to drive freely.
It's not really a winnable fight, and you're not required to have a plate to own the car, just to use it on public roads.
P.S. I do feel like mandatory insurance is fascist and totalitarian though.
A license plate is not a VIN number and comes off a car in under a minute. If I steal your corvette, the plate is the first thing that is coming off, never to be seen again. The best way to identify your vehicle (aside from a VIN) is to do non-stock modifications on it.
Plates only matter if you get pulled over and an officer runs your ID next to the plate. Until then, you can have a fake or stolen plate without issue. (stolen plates might be noticed, if recently added to the list or an officer is bored or plate-scanning) You can drive across the country with different plates on the corvette with a low risk of trouble if you drive safely. So clearly they're not a reasonable deterrent against car theft. Chop shops are a thing, as well.
Public roads can be funded with a tax, and don't need to be paired with a plate.
