That's just the way your country has decided to impliment PR.
No reason why you couldn't have a list of individuals and a Nth preference column. No reason why your constituency rules couldn't have recall/retrigger clauses that apply to individual representatives. These are choices that have been made, they're not intrinsic to the concept of proportional representation.
