It was a rule since very, very close to the beginning. We're talking 4th or 5th set ever released. I'm not sure what official tournaments you were playing it, but they were either ignoring the rules or they were in the first year or two of the game being released.
This was early 90s and we had a collectible card shop that ran all types of tourneys in the space in front of the mall. They were sanctioned/official from what I recall. Rule books were available and everything.

1998 and I’m not seeing anything about 4 card limits.
