>> Does someone have a good explanation/intuition for why you cannot exploit quantum entanglement to send information faster than light?
Because physicists can not tell the difference between a particle whose "wave function collapsed" and one that didn't.
The faster than light communication would be equivalent to modulating the collapsedness of a stream of particles by measuring-or-not their entangled counterparts. Since the is no discernable difference between particles pre and post collapse, no information can be transmitted.
