> If the prior is arbitrary anyways you could also stick to your unknown prejudice

One way to think about a prior is to make your prejudices transparent rather than unknown.

But, this might be negative, because you can’t consciously tweak an unknown prejudice. But, you can tweak a prior until your results support your hypothesis. In that sense, Baysian statistics might be more transparent, but less honest.

Bayesian approaches are more transparent regardless of them being "honest" or not.
