Soccer hates micromanaging. It has always been a sport where the ref's word is final, and the "spirit of the game" should decide everything else. Same reason they fought goal line technology and instant replays for so long, those fly in the face of the beautiful game, interrupt the flow. Flopping is annoying, but most of the time the game keeps on playing while that idiot basically puts his team down a man on an attack. Watch a game in person, and you'll see how little flopping affects the play, and how much the ref mentally accumulates demerits against bad players, then hits them with a yellow after a while. Watching on TV only shows you what the camera crew wants to concentrate on.
