The car dealers are the ones putting them on the cars not the owners.

Yes. They own the vehicle.

You are free to do whatever you want when you finish the transaction. Which typically is actually a few days later after the bank clears it. Or you can ask for them to take it off. Dealerships just let it go early because they rarely run into issues closing the finance. And NOBODY ever brings their own plate holder. But yeah, "vandalism" ๐Ÿ™„

I would've thought they install licence plate frames when they put the cars out on display, though I do find the idea of dealerships running around randomly mounting them to other people's cars amusing.

That is, how it works. At worst they put a plate frame on just before they sell it to you because you didn't bring one to the dealership.
