The US constitution merely allows congress to establish post offices and post roads. In a wider interpretation, it gives congress the right to regulate the postal system. But that seems to be a right to do something, not an obligation.
And it certainly doesn't read as an obligation for the government to run a postal system themselves. They merely chose to do so.
