I'm not sure what you mean by "emphasize French"?

This is more or less the issue that Abd and myself are discussing. It seems
like a missed opportunity when the "electors" have no real freedom to make
the one decision they have, because the voters already know how they want
the decision to be made.

That's why I brought up mayors as an example. You elect a mayor to run a
city. If he can run your city, surely he could be trusted to vote
responsibly for a president (or for his preference for his party's
presidential nominee).
