Yikes! How does UPS, FedEx, and any others I'm forgetting make ends meet? What happens to our concept of home mail delivery (for letters and such, don't laugh, I'm sure someone sends them)? To be fair, I've only had packages delivered to my new home, zero actual mail beyond a smattering of junk.
UPS & FedEx do not services areas where they can not make money - USPS is forced to. They can also make changes without waiting for congress to enact a new law.
That said... I don't even mail any bills anymore. I have a book of stamps that is about two years old and less than 1/2 used...
PS - I expect deliveries of USPS to be down to m-w-f only within 10 years
That and there's nothing UPS or FedEx will do for you if you only pay them $.45.
