itachi isn't the type of character to show-off his ability without a well established reason for it. in the series, whenever he doesn't need sharingan or isn't about to possibly use it, he is not using it.

Anyways, Its not as important to Itachi the character than to the Manga series as a whole. The author probably wanted to show off how the presumed final villain looked. And Itachi was very crowd pleasing back in the day. And his eyes are sort of like a trademark like Naruto's stupid dattabayo.

its true that the sharingan is a big trademark of naruto, but it still isn't used by itachi (or any of the people who have it) when they don't need it. no uchiha or kakashi just walks around with it activated. the activation of sharingan is also a very cool looking event, especially in the anime series when they add the sound effects, so the series has even more to gain from the sharingan using characters not using them all the time.
