> Gerrymandering doesn’t change the fact that the voters decide the results.

Well it does change which voters decide the results. A lot of electoral systems seek to constantly redress imbalance by having impartial bodies redraw district lines as populations shift. It is a shame the US does not. Gerrymandering is fundamentally undemocratic.

Also, many countries use multiseat PR, which makes gerrymandering virtually impossible.

I'm not sure you could find, or make, an impartial body in the US.
