It's harder to afford stable housing with a stable mailing address than it is to afford internet access.
And those without internet access can go to public libraries or even get free public wifi in many cities. Even some homeless shelters provide wifi now, which is much easier for them than providing mail service. Technically, I think those without a permanent address can register to still receive mail at a post office, but that seems more difficult to manage and more limiting than finding internet access.

Gotta disagree. You aren't required to have stable housing to have a stable mailing address. The USPS provides services to all.
