I mean technically governments farm their citizens for tax dollars. They spend money at the beginning of their lives in the hopes of getting a return on their investment when their livestock reaches adulthood and can pay taxes. They spend additional money to convince the livestock to work without complaint in the hopes of one day living life without work.

For the general public, the benefits are minor (stolen car alerts, toll road passes, registraion renewals through the electronic plate, etc.) . However, electronic plates will be a game changer for commercial carriers/semi truck drivers. Companies can just turn off a plate when a driver leaves the business. A surprising amount of companies struggle to get plates back from drivers. This means that they have to contact their local DMV and could run into issues with their safety record if the driver continues running on that plate.
