There's a very simple answer to your questions:
Officials, like the games they work, are living things with character and faults. Sometimes we just miss them. Sometimes the flow of the game cries out for a no call. Sometimes we just need to even something up so there's a no call. That's what adds to the beauty & drama of sports. I imagine we could replace the officials with unthinking perfect robots.
But wouldn't that make the game much less exciting?
