Look at Atkinsons decision regarding Zaha's penalty at Arsenal, he was about 10 yards at most behind Zaha it was quite obvious that it was a penalty, yet he had to go to VAR. Before VAR he would of got away with it, so it does have some positive benefits. But the real problem is as you say the appalling and biased refereeing, it's hard to believe that Clattenburg would have made the same decisions against Liverpool that he did against us.
Premier League admit VAR made a MISTAKE Brighton-Everton game

"The Premier League have admitted that Everton were the victims of a mistake by VAR in a game that has led to pressure mounting on Marco Silva.

The decision had significant ramifications as Everton, who had been leading 2-1 with 10 minutes to go in a game they were controlling, ended up losing 3-2 and all momentum that had been gained the previous weekend, when beating West Ham 2-0, evaporated.
After reviewing the incident, it is understood Premier League officials communicated that the decision should not have been given.
It is not known whether Everton have received an apology from Mike Riley, the head of the PGMOL.

Not that we'll get anything from it. Merely used to set an example, once again.
It was never a penalty. I really don't understand why they ever thought it was. Incidental contact like that isn't a foul unless it is somehow a dangerous play which stepping on someone's foot when you aren't aware of where they are isn't that. It was terrible when it happened and it's worse now.
Partly due to the fact that they took an incident in real time and reviewed it with slow-motion, with multiple angles and microscopic detail to come to a conclusion.
