But the pump's flow doesn't have to be the same, in fact most of the time it can be less, for example during warmup. Also, at higher engine rpms the water flow isn't greater, since the pump just starts cavitating, losing energy with no gains.
The speed of an electric pump can be regulated as needed - it depends on engine load & temperature, not rpms.
