Isn’t their lack of influence the issue?

From ESPN

The Premier League is desperate to limit the impact of VAR upon games, which is why it wants such a high bar for interventions. It wants VAR to go back to its original remit of "minimum interference for maximum benefit," but it hinges on good decisions on the field in the first place.

It's clearly still affecting the ability of a VAR to do the job efficiently. Of the 28 errors this season, 23 have been because the VAR hasn't stepped in when they should have. This will be a 24th. It's the apparent reluctance to get involved which is angering clubs more than the original decision.
