It's to keep the illegal aliens and other scofflaws from buying cars with 11,10,8 months left on the tabs and then never registering them in their name or buying insurance. No tags makes it harder to drive. I've seen plenty of used car listings on Craigslist where they'll state new tabs or how many months are left on the current registration.
Also weird Oklahoma/tag stuff is the fact you don't have to tag a trailer in Oklahoma. I don't have any data but I'd be pretty sure Oklahoma and any other state with this same deal have the highest trailer thefts.

I do remember Oklahoma replacing the plates every year on renewal before they went to the stickers.
That makes sense. Just imagine how many non commercial trailers are goin down the road.You do if you pull it behind a vehicle with a commercial tag. My enclosed trailer is titled and tagged.

Auto titles now have a form you can use to show that you sold the car. IIRC it is a $10 fee to file it.
