It's a harder problem than it seems to be as many real Facebook users behave similarly to spammers. If you take some action that affects 0.1% of users, you piss off over a million users.

Also, nobody is screaming about this, and they make money off of it, so I doubt the motivation is there.

Even though it is fraudulent, corporate customers like this because they get better KPIs to publish in their internal reports.

This is why Facebook advertising is popular; not because it is effective.
