How one person can see everything on such a huge field is incredible to me. Tons of stuff gets missed.
Players can really get away with just about anything they want to an additional official would make a huge difference and you don't need VAR to slow down the game.
An additional official is probably more expensive. Just a guess there but one more official in every game is probably more expensive than VAR which can be leveraged across multiple games.
In football I think you should be allowed to review anything, but coaches should control replay and you just doc them a timeout if they miss on a review request. That should limit the usage of it.
