Which is why, in this case, there is an avenue for retroactive action after the match...
If you want to argue that the PL should change the standard and start banning players for actions like that, sure, go for it. Just know you'll be regularly banning players for.
Also know that's a definitely a change in the rules and not something to throw in the middle of a season.
Embellishment isn't against the rules, diving is. They're different things. If you want to punish them the same, I'd probably support it, but there's basically zero appetite for that among the larger leadership of the sport.
