If the basis of this move is that the USPS haven't figured out how to collect the tariffs on imports from China you would expect other couriers to be implementing the same measures very soon.

No.
USPS forwards packages from HongKong Post and China Post -- they don't have direct relationship with the shipper.
FedEX/DHL, otoh, have their local office in HongKong and China, they help the customer do declaration and inspect them before seal.
When FexEX/DHL package got the declaration wrong, they got fined. When USPS package got the declaration wrong, they are hand-tied.
