It helps prevent crime, and sometimes you want the police presence known. Like if you call 911 for help with a burglary or medical condition.them showing up in clearly marked cars flashing lights is what you need.
The unmarked ones are usually used for major busts of suspected criminals or things like speed traps

First of all you want to deescalate things, a police car calms everyone down and makes clear that consequences are coming. You make clear you are a real agent, no excuses, you have to surrender to it. Most professional criminals are not idiots, and prefer hands up than get longer sentences for fighting back. And the marked car makes clear that time has come.
Then they aren’t even aways MANNED!
A police car parked empty is a big big deterrent, and a big distraction. You can use it both to “show the flag” and appear more present, or use it to look “stupidly obvious” while the agents are actually walking around without uniform. Sometimes you just need the marked cars to show a marked car.
It serves a purpose. When it doesn’t, they use unmarked cars.

Contrary to popular belief, law enforcement and the penitentiary system are not meant to catch as many criminals as possible. The whole point is to prevent people from committing those crimes in the first place. The presence of a police car is a crime deterrent

Because it used to be that the public branch would determine the regulation for the police branch. Those days are long gone, but it’s absolutely not in the public’s interest for all police cars to be unmarked. There’s plenty of studies on it, but the short version is that you lose the deterrent effect entirely. So you just get more crime which would have literally been prevented by a paint job.
