My father in law works for the USPS and mentioned the elimination of these machines as well as elimination of overtime about a month ago.
It's being described as a result of a massive decrease in flat mail. From the local union newsletter:
"On 5-15-2020 USPS announced a National Equipment Reduction Plan to remove and scrap 671 pieces of equipment nationwide. ... USPS is scrapping and not relocating these machines because they don't see the mail coming back."
The 5/15 date is interesting because it's about a week after the new Postmaster/CEO was appointed. [0]
