Imagine a football game being decided because a ref called one pass interference that put a team in FG range.
This happens all of the time.

They kick a fg and win the game 3-0.
Or they kick a field goal and win 27-24. What's the difference? Same effect either way.

There is a difference when a referees call accounts for 100% of the scoring than when it accounts for 5%. One is much more easily overcame and thus has a smaller effect on the game.
Since its so much easier to score on a PK, players will forgo trying to score in the field to get a penalty kick. A player in the box will often flop at the cost of giving up the possession of the ball and the chance to score because they understand that even a 20% chance of getting a refs call is going to be better odds of scoring than actually getting it by the goalie.
When is the last time you saw Kobe dribbling down the court and intentionally lose the ball to fake a foul? Or anyone for that matter....
