IRV has nothing to do with eliminating runoff elections. You can get rid of runoff elections without adopting IRV. Or you can get rid of runoff elections and use Approval Voting. Or Score Voting. Or Condorcet voting. Or Borda. And most of these systems are simpler and better than IRV. And by better, I mean they produce more pleasing outcomes as objectively measured via Bayesian Regret calculations. But it's not like most IRV proponents have the faintest understanding of these detailed facts.
