Looks like the reason is that FIFA agreed that VAR officials broke the established protocols by showing improper video footage to the on-field ref:
"VAR made their recommendation to the referee based on slow-motion and still replays, which is not aligned with VAR protocols, as these should be used for only point-of-contact purposes in a red card tackle situation."
