This is an important point people dismiss too easily. If the campaigns would have had to focus on popular votes, they would have been run differently. Trump would have given more time to California and Hillary would have campaigned more in Texas, for example.

It's obviously impossible to say what the outcome would have been, but the campaigns definitely would have optimized differently.

In a different universe things would be different. This is always true and I agree with you what you mean in pointing it out. From a human level though he still didn't cross the popular threshold. Regardless of constitutionality that leaves a lot to be desired.
