Yup. It's not even an argument.
There is nothing illegal about throwing up and in. The minute you make it illegal, you take away an entire part of the plate and pitchers' only choice is to throw outside. Nobody wants that.
If a pitcher wants to intentionally hit a guy, he will typically try to peg the guy in the lower back, and it will usually be thrown either behind the hitter or way inside.
