That's not equity, though. The affordability of sending a letter allows for much easier access. Ive we rely only on private companies, then there are people for whom it would become cost prohibitive. Also, there are plenty of people without easy access to a location for those companies, and they aren't going to build in places it isn't profitable.
Mail services like this was seen as a public good, and that is why the federal government took it on. If we rid ourselves of a public mail service, we just have to reevaluate the need for equal access to mail services in today's society.
