But wouldn't "the centrist" option still apply in other states. For example California may be 65/35 for Biden, but if you were to align people from the most Republican to the most Democrat then the people in the 35th percentile would be considered the center and in the end it's those votes that are being courted by both sides.

Yes, the centrists would always be well-represented. It's just the EC exaggerates their power. But what positions are centrist can change. The EC just generally operates to slow down the pace of change of laws. FPTP and single-member districts achieves the same in the other formerly British countries. It just isn't as visible there because there is no national election for a prime minister.
