A fake plant provides privacy for the turtle and if the water is deep and the turtle is small, a place to rest if s/he tires. My RES still likes to "lie" on some of his fake plants even though they sag under his weight.
My little ones like to observe me from between the leaves.
One alternative to a plant for a resting place is some kind of ledge or shelf. But the plants to me are more natural looking and add to the tank.
