That's certainly a critique of voting systems, but there are plenty of ways to increase the resolution of that signal.

Perhaps, but equally populations are growing, so each person's signal gets less and less valuable over time. Democracies birthed in places with a high sense of buy-in and relatively few people voting would've felt very different to how things feel today, and I don't know how many ways there are to rectify that.
I don't know that that's true. Voting is so low resolution a signal, between two options, on 10000 issues, that it is pretty meaningless in terms of policy. You could say it works in the sense that your team gets in, though.
