It can’t make profit because USPS is not allowed to set the prices of its services.

They also have to deliver to every valid residential address.
You wouldn’t see UPS or fedex running a mule train to make sure an area still gets mail[1]
If we let other companies take over and kill the USPS we’ll just see a ton of areas of the country not get delivered too because the profit margin isn’t there.
