In most cases it's pretty useless. However, with very limited production cars it's benefits are you can keep track of total production, how many of each color there is, what number any given vehicle is in the production line, was the car a company press/ demo car, how many are even in existence as some are wrecked, stolen, etc. over the years. But mostly to preserve the history of the car in one organized location. That is why you see so many registrys of Pcars, Ferraris, and of course some of the more rare BMW's. As far as giving access to anyone and everyone, well that just wouldn't work for obvious reasons. Believe it or not, there are malicious people that would mess with it just for fun. By maintaining control I can in most cases verify the information is correct(color, production date, etc) and not some troll just messing around.

BTW, I get no personal or financial benefit. I hope this helps.
