As a resident of MA I can assure you that we are a 2 plate state.
That being said: I got my car from Classic in Grapevine, TX (also a 2 plate state) and asked that they not install the plate. They did as I asked and I have no holes in my car because of it. A MA dealer could be in trouble POTENTIALLY if they sell a car to a MA resident without a spot for a front plate but I don't know why a dealer would attach it right away. There's a chance they're going to run into a situation like the OP is in where they find a buyer from out of state or are offered a trade from another dealer from out of state. To these other individuals, the holes they have put into the car might just cost them a sale. So much easier if they'd just install the bracket after they've found an in-state buyer.
