Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads".

Does not require that Congress do so.

Uh yeah it does. If it didn’t that would mean they also aren’t required to provide for the common defense, establish rules of naturalization, establish a court, raise an army, provide a navy, or all the rest of the stuff in Article 1, Section 8. That isn’t a list of suggestions, it’s a list of duties.
