It's not cool and many people prefer to be like everyone rather than using what's convenient for them.

For example using short dress for men probably is more convenient as it allows better cooling for their genitalia which is important for reproductive function and generally for health. Yet outside of Scotland dresses are not considered an appropriate for men and nobody even dares to use them.

This may be true of most modern western cultures, but is quite wrong in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_skirts

Nobody in Scotland wears them either TBH! It's cold up there.

Some would say drafty. Especially without underwear.

A good kilt is heavy and warm and if you wear one to a social gathering, it's a hot thing to wear. But wearing it outside is a brave thing to do, particularly in the damp cold air of autumn/winter.

Probably why they have long socks/hose to stop your legs freezing.

I don't think many Scots go around wearing kilts all the time. Whereas in walmer climes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mundu and variants exist.

Never, ever, call a kilt a 'dress' in the presence of a Scotsman.
