Unless you have an elected position or the position needs to be filled ignoring the wishes of the local group that would select a replacement that is kind of true.
Local elections have real value.
But splintering a government entity just because you can isn't automatically better.
For instance who pays for the last mile? Who pays for the first mile? With a federal program it doesn't matter the answer is the same. With a state program sending mail to a low density state could impact the pricing structure of a high density state.
You could end up with fragmentation where cross state is more expensive or worse these friction points are enough where the monopoly breaks down because a few states don't need a monopoly and just let local businesses compete.

Yep, aligns incentives nicely!

Sounds like a good outcome, no? Yes, down with monopolies, especially government enforced ones.
