I actually looked through
Robert's Rules and couldn't even find the part about high-denom chips being in clear view, let alone the part about whether anyone's obligated to count down stacks or not.

You are entitled to a clear view of the chips. You are also entitled to have the high denomination chips be clearly visible. You are also entitled to have the chips stacked in a manner that someone looking at them can tell how deep a player is. Traditionally if someone asks "how deep are you" they get an answer that is close to how many chips a player has. Poker is a game played by ladies and gentlemen. If you find yourself unable to conduct yourself as a lady or gentleman you should leave the casino.
