If too many individual purple states (if it happened in a red state that would be surprising) each changed their laws to allocate electors based on the national popular vote that would be very dangerous. And they would not need a US Constitutional amendment to do it.

Correct - the only Constitutional issue is states entering into a compact to do so. But there's no evidence that even the blue-est state is willing to so decide without a compact.
