USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Most things don't really matter and don't need to be but if you had something you needed to get somewhere and prove you sent it by a deadline then sending certified has always been recommended

Yes you're missing the point: before this many places accepted postdate as good enough for most purposes. This is now forcing more things to have to be certified mail
