What is stopping FIFA from stamping out Diving altogether?

Surely in the world of technology, it cannot be hard to review a dive in soccer? What is stopping FIFA from stamping out Diving altogether?
Is it because its part of the "entertainment" , like an actor in a movie?

FIFA doesn’t want to use replays because they say it would stop the game too much. Diving is illegal, it’s just hard to catch. Many teams have suggested putting in Official Replays, for things like whether or not a ball went over the line, where a tackle happened, hand balls, diving etc. but FIFA again doesn’t want to ruin "constant" football. However teams can request to overturn decisions after the game, like cards and such.
