This may be partly due to the USA's unique combination of a well functioning postal service, large population, and lack of broadband penetration in rural areas.
If you venture out to Alaska, the Dakotas, West Viriginia etc there's tons of places where there's a post office but no or shitty broadband.
Being able to drive into town and pick up a stack of blu-rays at your PO box, and send back the old is extremely useful in such areas.
