I don't think that looking back at what happened to the Noldor would have worked. By the time of Ar-Pharazon, the Elves were at the bottom of the hierarchy in Numenor. Just about everyone never mentioned them, so it would have taken some gumption to bring up what happened to the Elves in front of the king. Besides, Ar-Pharazon thought that he was stronger than the Elves, so what tempted them wouldn't have necessarily tempted him, at least in his mind.
