Agree with you to a degree, but Pandora’s box has been opened and the new norm is half an inch offside is just the same as two yards offside. It'll just take some getting used to.
I agree that the penalty thing is a real issue - offside is a matter of fact, penalties still have some objectivity (for example I didn’t think England should have had a penalty when Fran Kirby went over, and neither did the ref after a VAR check, but it seems like I am in the minority)
The way it’s going VAR might actually increase diving if players find everything gets VAR treatment, and some people see any contact being a foul.
The game is at a crossroads for sure.
