For the police: It is easier to make out a plate that is approaching, than receding, especially with a trailer.
For drivers: It gives you a 'spare' if one gets stolen or falls off.
Also... Remember when they went from 2 inspections a year to 1? They doubled the fee. If they go from 2 plates to 1, the fee will stay the same. I would expect at some point they would go back to 2 plates but charge more because they -now- have to use twice as much materials!
