It’s true that Article 1, Section 8 says: [The Congress shall have the power] to establish Post Offices and Post Roads. Thus, the Constitution allows the government to get involved in postal services, but that doesn’t mean that it has to.

No. The Constitution of the United States EXPLICITLY states, as one of the 18 "enumerated powers" listed in Article 1, Section 8, the power "To establish Post Offices and post Roads".

There's nothing "implied" about that.

Yes, they can. It is listed in the enumerated powers in the constitution, specifically article I section 8.
