Because they are harmless fun? Many hours of road trips were spent trying to spot a license plate from every state.
And quite frankly, I love that each region has its own plate design. It adds a bit of spice to life.

Aside from collecting all the countries, you can collect the cities. For instance, plates in Berlin are of the form "B-AB 124" but plates in Hamburg are of the form "HH-AB 124". Presumably you can't really collect them all - there's too many cities - but you can try to work out what they all are.
