Yes, presumably because VAR is not allowed to intervene for yellows and

as you say, rather than give a yellow card and a dive refs are just not giving anything now until they have checked with VAR.

It would be ironic if VAR actually saw an increase in diving because as we have now seen if you can draw contact of any sort and the ref gives the pen then its not going to be overturned.
