OMG, you are totally right, but there’s no way that’ll ever stand.

No state is awarding electoral votes on the basis of the national popular vote. Several states have promised to when states representing 270 electoral votes agree to the “compact”.

This, in my opinion undermines the ‘popular-vote’ winner concept. If sates ban a candidate from the ballot, the national popular vote winner idea is pointless.
