Postal delivery is a government service legally required to provide coverage for all citizens including areas private delivery services don’t operate due to the cost of delivering to those locations. Cell service is private and there are certainly places, even places near major cities, that don’t have cell coverage. The western US is full of areas with no coverage whatsoever, even on highways. There are plenty of utilities that aren’t universally available (water, sewer, phone, cable, Internet, etc.) and are, in fact, limited to populated areas.
