FIFA doesn't have their players play in the Olympics, at least not to a grand scale. There's limit and exceptions so only certain players are allowed to go. I believe the age limit is 23 for one of them.
People crapping on the NHL seem to forget that the NHL is a business and they have no obligation to go the Olympics if it's not in their best interest. Saying they don't care about the fans is an ignorant statement. If people really want to see the best players take on each other in an international format, the NHL got the World Cup for you.
