We see the requirement to have plates as encouragement to keep the car
emissions-legal, because you're going to have to put it back in that state
every so often to get your tags (in some states) If you coose to make the
effort to legalize-and-delegalize your setup every year, then no skin off
our nose.
If the problem you see is truly just in the verbiage of the rule, then it
could be rewritten to something that more explictly defines the intent of
the rule.
So something like "vehicle must have current licence plates and
registration papers, legally obtained"
OK, I'll buy that.
I'll run it up the flagpole.
