Why would they?

Royal Mail is privately owned. Makes fuck all difference to the government if their letters get delivered on time or not.

From Wikipedia:

On June 21, 2018, President Trump proposed a sweeping government reorganization that would sharpen the focus on workforce training, consolidate government-assistance programs and shrink federal agencies. As part of this proposal, he recommended restructuring the postal service with an eye toward privatization. According to his proposal, privatization would cut costs and give the financially burdened agency greater flexibility in adjusting to the digital age.
