I just went to https://www.usps.com/ and it looks perfectly fine. Loads quickly, layout is clean. Maybe this is a joke about modern webdev being terrible that has gone over my head?
It sort of is - the design looks bad, but you're right. The website loads too fast, almost. I would just move to usps.gov and maybe make the design look less like a template I could buy for $30.
How would that new design not become the next $30 template? Do we just have to redesign everything important every few years so they avoid the old/commodity look?

I would do what gov.uk does and just have a design that matches all the other goverment sites.
