It's hard to counter because it's hard to set up. I've never seen a "noob" use a lift ever. To properly lift you have to have your feet in the correct orientation and you have to stay low. It's dangerous because you're very vulnerable until you get the lift.
I feel like most of this is just your opinion. Most "pros" I've seen use lifts from time to time, I use them on a situational basis, meaning that if I see the opportunity and I know I'll be able to get it off safely I'll do it.

And because all of this seems to be subjective.. I'm going to share my opinion:
-The only moves I have problems with are one's that are predetermined. Meaning that they do the same thing every time because they know t will work.
E.G.
-Kick/Lifts
-Shovels
Any move that is predetermined and isn't influenced on the course of the match is a "noob" move. A shovel can only happen one way, and I hate when I'm accused of shoveling because I pushed someone outside the dojo. If it's not a set move, you're alright in my book.
No one should try to limit what people can or can't do in a match because a lot of the times it's justifiable. People get mad because they set themselves up for failure and blame it on a "leg grab" or "lift". Maybe you shouldn't kick lift if you're always getting your leg grabbed. I'd say about 70% of the people I fight kick lift, so I always leave an arm down to grab it.
