Much of what gov't does does not make sense.

Check your eyesight and have a new picture taken.
Licenses do wear out,or need updating.(Not so for your lic.plate.)
Maybe get you to pay any outstanding parking tickets,too.

In a way,yes.You are licensed -to use- a motor vehicle even if it is not
registered to you,like a rental,or another person's licensed auto.
Note that you need no driver's license if you operate off-road,on private
property.Same for lic.plates and registration.
