There is no real way to stop one kind of cheating vs another
Except that the HUNH isn't cheating.
Control over advancement of the play clock via the snap is a power given to offenses BY the rulebook. There's nothing wrong with doing it quickly instead of being lackadaisical about it.
Faking an injury is not a power given to defenses BY the rulebook. It's against the rules, there's just no way to enforce it.
Doing something within the rules (HUNH) is not the same thing as doing something against the rules (faking injuries). The lack of enforceibility doesn't make the two the same thing.
