my 2cts, it would be a loss for RC if LiPo and similar packs get banned.
LiPO is very easy to use, charge, stock ... and a real + for someone beginning on RC.
NiMH are ok, but require a lot more time and work to maintain their performance.
Also, LiPO is very stable and straight forward. In NiMH you will see a big difference between normal, stock elements and the specially treated packs topdrivers get from their sponsors, and thus pumping up the price.
Also NiMh is more expensive if you want to compeed at the front (NiMH: 6 (special) packs, charger with special functions, discharge trays; Lipo: charger + balancer + 2 packs and that's all you need for a day of competition) ... or maybe this is exactly the reason they want to give itthe monopoly. Certainly the manufactors will like this.
