2 of those require a constitutional amendment which is a high bar to meet. Also personally prefer approval voting to RCV, it's easier to explain, works with existing machines, and eliminates the spoiler effect.

I personally prefer approval voting, but god almighty do regressives lose their minds over it when it's brought up. It's easier to address their emotional points with ranked choice voting, so I'll often default to it.
