It's not the same thing. You are comparing the States with private political parties. I guess private parties can choose their delegates any way they like within the laws of the various States. The States do not choose delegates, the parties do, and usually let the people do the "choosing" as long as they are rubber stamping the establishment choice.
It's disingenuous to have a primary to choose delegates only to award the delegates to another candidate the state party prefers. Sure, they can do it. But you can expect the people to push back. But, until the people change the party rules, they need not complain. It's the same with the States. Why haven't the States invoked Article 5 yet?
