Whilst I have no wish to stir up a hornets nest,-----I probably will-----, I do think that your friend may have some valid points there, for some kilt wearers of today.
I find myself (as usual!) in agreement with you here.
It's precisely this sort of thing that keeps me from wearing kilts to church, or to my daughter's graduation today. The focus of these events is on others and the last thing I want to do is dress in a way that will make me be noticed.
Like many pipers I have a bit of an aversion to wearing Highland Dress when I'm not piping. Unlike most pipers, however, I wear Highland Dress to Games when not competing (which gets comments and raised eyebrows from the piping community) and having not owned a suit for decades I wear Highland Dress at those very rare occasions where a suit is required (once every few years).
