There are limits to where people can move. This is a big reason CA and NY are good targets for these things; they're expensive to live in. It's actually more feasible if you're an average Arizonan to just vote someone in to quickly approve legislation similar to CA (and Bonen can point out since he mentioned working on this) and maybe even get CA to join up with your network.
I actually thought it'd be the other way around. Without pork barrel spending (which should probably just come back), national elections don't end up mattering to your constituents specifically. So I can see the argument that if you're an underprivileged leftist in WV you still don't need to compromise on a national candidate because even if they win, you don't see much reward. But with something like a governor, there are things like the Medicaid expansion on the line that could change for you within the week of the election if the compromise candidate wins.
Like, if I had to pick an office to win here in MS, but the person had to be Manchin-y, I'd definitely go governor. That office alone would mean healthcare for thousands of Mississippians, most of whom are incredibly impoverished people of color. Whereas if I got to kick out Wicker's dumb ass, I as a Mississippian don't really see much from that quickly, if ever.
