I don't think anyone has said that a hem is a bad thing. I can think of many reasons why a kilt needs a hem and we do not know enough about BCAC's kilt to make a full judgement
What we DO know is that he was told by his kilt maker "that other kilt makers don't hem their kilts because they're too lazy and that this kilt maker estimates that their clients merit that the extra work is done to hem the kilt by hand to favorise swing, fluidity and aesthetic equality" which is just a misleading statement without a proper qualification as to why something was done that does not appear to be traditional and was seemingly unexpected
