I think I remember it being brought up after Zurich! That was ages ago. And of no relevance to this discussion.
However, seems like a good idea to ban lobs in this circumstance (exhibition on a court we're not used to with spectators watching without any idea of the pace or game play, positioned, probably, right on the side of the court paying the littlest of attention at times). Sure, lobs can be done well and quite softly. I've also seen them done at speed and quiet a distance from their target.
Whether they should be allowed in polo in general is another discussion.
