What do you think “districts” means?
A subsection of a larger unit, here the subsections of a rectangle. What does that have to do with me not guessing what the rectangle represents?
And the U.S. President is not elected like this, no. There is no districting involved in US Presidential elections,
In many states, it is winner take all for that state’s Electors, with the winner being the one with the plurality of votes in a FPTP election
Ok, so there is an election system like the one I criticized in the US, just not in every state.
Some others assign their Electors proportionally.
Would you then say, that this is better than “winner takes all” and that “blue wins” is not perfect?

No… because in the example, it was NOT winner take all. Blue one the majority of districts. Red won the other districts. Nobody took all. I feel like you are trying really hard to misunderstand a VERY simple hypothetical example. Yes, winner take all states for electors is bullshit, but that is NOT what is happening in the example, for thr love of god!
