https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:post_office:type tells
"The key post_office:type is used as a sub-key of amenity=post_office
specifying the type of post office."
which means amenity=post_office can stand for itself, while
post_office:type can only be a refinement/addendum to
amenity=post_office but not exist for itself. Either we change that
definition or we define a new key.

I strongly favor the 2nd approach because the current name is disliked
for various reasons by many people, including yourself:
