In a lot of cases it was backlash against these 70's buildings that resulted in height limits rather than a ban going farther back. But there wasn't a lot of thought about how limits after some construction would make those hated buildings the most prominent buildings indefinitely.
Another dubious planning guideline is "thou shalt build no taller than building X", which means that eventually building X will be hidden in some tabletop.
