You should fact check what you read/hear. Same states do require electors to vote for the winning candidate in that state. Not all, but some.

No states allocate their electoral votes based on the national popular vote at this time. They have agreed to do so only if the states in the "pact" control 270 electoral votes. It's questionable at best if that would ever happen.
