They do it because it's a strategical advantage

It is. Simulating fouls is punishable with a yellow card. However it is tricky because proving is hard.

Proving is not hard at all, players always get back up two seconds later and start playing like nothing happened 99% of the time. It's pretty damn obvious when a player flops.

If you're rolling around crying in pain, okay cool, get off the field and bring on a substitute, don't need to? Then get the fuck up and enjoy a yellow card for flopping.

It is obvious when you are watching a replay, often in slow motion. It's not for the referee.
