Because the league and its officials have a priority to protect their franchise quarterbacks.
Its not just Hali, but he is one of the better pass rushers so he tends to get the short end of the stick more often than not.
Look at it this way...
if players like Hali got more of those calls, offensive linemen would have to be sneakier in their efforts and players like Hali would be getting 20+ sacks and injuring quarterbacks in the process.
Thats the opposite of what GODell and the league in general want.
They want an offensive league that is family friendly (selling tickets and rights are a lot easier to do when you are selling to whole families of 4 rather than a couple guys)
Remember, its not just a sport, its a television show and they are just trying to protect their product and their product is the leagues quarterbacks and scoring.
It sucks, but its the raw truth that they will never acknowledge.
