Have you a link to a story about this?

Is it all postmasters, or just one you have experience of?

I think its fairly obvious from reading the article that implementing the new account will mean less work for them and their members.

It does seem that each post office is its own little fiefdom, and the people running them have a habit of making their own rules. Not a great way to run a business, really.
