It's cause by FPTP. If the largest share of voters in a given state were people that didn't vote, all the electoral college votes should go to "did not vote." That doesn't happen IRL because they just ignore low voter turnout.

It's true but for the broader picture one should add that many people don't bother to vote if their state is predicted to be a landslide victory for either candidate.
