Yup i know. Still wasnt something publishers liked tho, no one likes to be told what to do. Anyways that all kinda wemt awsy as games got more expensive to make. 

Certainly many didn't like it.  Konami even established a spin off publishing company called Ultra Games to get around the restriction.  Keep in mind this rule didn't apply to Japan as it wasn't affected by the 1983 crash.

However, few believe this was a bad decision overall as it did help prevent a repeat of 1983. 

And with the cost to make games and easiness to do shitty jobs it was justified at the time... today with the costs involved no one need a company to limit them, the risk will limit it.
