Because the US Postal Service decided about 30 years ago that it would be more efficient (quicker, more accurate) to just use 2 letters to signify a state.
People were addressing letters (you know... snail mail) and using all kinds of abbreviations for the states.
ILL for IL, IND for IN, MISS for MS, etc.
I don't think this answers your question, but now I feel better.
