All of HPP is HCR (highway contract route) - rural gang mailbox routes that are contracted out to independent workers (not postal employees & not USPS delivery equipment). This is common throughout the US on rural routes that are not on public roads, or that are a vast distance from the Post Office.
Most completely private subdivisions are handled like this even on the mainland, the main difference is here you have these tremendously large, completely private subdivisions.
The mailboxes you see may just be for 'show', someone may have had one they shipped, or just for personnel correspondence that friends use when a gate is closed.
For more info on HCRs, search on the USPS.com site
