If you think Lobot's main function (even before Cantina Brawl) is the mouse dump, then you clearly don't understand Lobot.
Whoa, that's not fair at all. In fact...

That makes it really super obvious that you use Lobot most often in a specific manner (with swap squads). That isn't even close to the only way to use Lobot. In fact, I use Lobot all the time, and have brought in an Amanin Scout... well, I don't I've EVER brought in an Amanin Scout with Lobot. That's because I rarely play swap squads. I do, however, play tempo-based squads and stuff like Solo Charge and Smug Commandos. That means I've used the "10 Mouse Dump" A LOT. It made the championship game in 2010 a relatively easy game instead of quite difficult. Outactivating Brandon was pretty much necessary for me to have a chance to win. I've also used it in both that squad (Smug Commandos) and in Solo Charge all the time to block paths for my opponent and just have greater board control than normal. I brought 10 Mouse Droids pretty regularly in the 2011 Championship (I was playing Solo Charge then).
So yeah, in my experience (particularly in high level play, most of all my 2010 Championship run) the 10 Mouse Dump is a really good reason to use Lobot in a lot of squads. Of course it's not the only reason, and is a lot less common nowadays, but there was a time where it was his main use, especially in certain squads. Lobot would probably still have been popular even without Gha, but I do think it would have been less so.
