New York – 29 electoral votes
Incredibly stupid given it is an electoral powerhouse in addition to a population powerhouse. How would this benefit New York at all?

It definitely benefits states with larger populations. Their effective voting power increases in a straight popular vote because the protection of state equality (2 votes per state based on Senate representation) is removed.
Without even taking into account the rule that all states gets one vote for population regardless of how small:
Current: NY has 29 votes out of 538 (5.39% effective power)
When you use whole population figures:
Total Votes Cast - 136,669,237
Total NY Votes Cast - 7,721,453
Total effective power - 5.60%
