The votes do represent individuals , and then that is used to represent different areas of the country.   The President doesn't just represent individuals but a whole nation.  In Congress you see a mix of this, where in the Senate each state has equal footing, whereas they are not equal in the House, but reflect populations.

Not sure you're making any kind of point here. That we do treat vastly different populations the same dependent on statehood in the senate is not a good argument that we should do so when electing a president.
