It would absolutely be better. Think of how many Trump voters are disenfranchised in California. Think of how many Harris voters are disenfranchised in Alabama. The president represents everyone, and yet, seven random states will actually move the needle in the contest this year. This is only controversial because it benefits one party that would otherwise consistently lose in an election that uses sane math where "greater than" hasn't been redefined to let the loser win, so now everyone who's into that is going to come out of the woodwork to explain how a minority-rule system from back when we had slavery is actually super great, guys.

Alabama won't see another candidate if the US went by popular vote ...

Who cares about "Alabama"? Or "Texas"? Or "California"? The point being made is that the presidency shouldn't be weighted by states. It should be a selection by the people.

To your assumption that Alabama will always be lopsided conservative while the country will always be lopsided Republican: Why should the Democrats in Alabama never have their voice heard?

I support electoral reform for the legislature... but the EC is trash.
