USPS closing main Detroit PO on Fort Street?

Yeah, to fairly represent the "Michigan Metroplex"... Hilarious.

So how do you explain similar relocations around the country?

I'm unaware of any other region in the country that uses a Metroplex postmark except Dallas which branded the term "Metroplex". And I certainly don't know of any region where the postmark was changed to de-emphasize the region's central city [[e.g. going from a "Detroit" postmark to "Michigan Metroplex"). I don't work for the post office, so I could very well be missing something. But a quick Google of Metroplex shows that Detroit... Er, "Michigan" is the only one.
