I’m not sure that I would trust the opinions of someone who put Maryland’s flag among the worst.

From that link, talking about the Texas flag:
Okay, so. The “Lone Star Flag” is undoubtedly an icon, but it also has some unfortunate, Confederate flag energy.
Because it has red, white, blue, and a star? If that’s true, then the US flag also has some Confederate flag energy. It doesn’t evoke the confederate battle flag at all, and the original US flag, with 13 stars in a circle, more closely resembles the official flag of the Confederacy than does the Texas flag.

The Five Principles are:
-
Keep It Simple. The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory.
-
Use Meaningful Symbolism. The flag’s images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes.
-
Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors. Limit the number of colors on the flag to three which contrast well and come from the standard color set.
-
No Lettering or Seals. Never use writing of any kind or an organization’s seal.
-
Be Distinctive or Be Related. Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections.

If I had to guess why the author feels that way, I would say it has a lot to do with the current state of politics in the US. I know I sometimes have a knee jerk reaction to people who drape themselves in US iconography.

Grey is funny and mostly accurate here, but has some big inconsistencies in his rankings. He goes way too hard on California, which is a good design despite breaking the “rules” of flag design. And he almost admits his generous marks for North Carolina are biased, where he excuses a ton of writing and an unoriginal design because he lived(s?) there.
And his praise for the new Utah flag should be dialled back a bit because even a well designed flag loses its shine when the symbolism of said flag is "we’re totally trying to get away with being a theocracy "

Sometimes the results get especially silly, like the recursive Army Seal that includes an image of that flag that includes an image of the seal…

Because the more changeable symbolic iconography you can accumulate, the more busywork and funds you can waste on pondering their change. (Government) employment security!

I like flags, but your post reminded me of the logo change episode of Kimmy Schmidt. It’s a big unveiling, lots of build up, and it’s literally the tiniest little change.
Mr. Linkey’s co did the exact same thing a couple years ago. 
We’re voting next year to (hopefully) go back to our original state flag here in Maine. Instead of the state seal on a blue background, it’d be this:

the lone star flag originated as its national flag, and is kept to mythologize texas independence.
since one of the primary reasons white settlers declared independence was because mexico outlawed enslavement… in a certain light, its meaning isn’t all that different than the confederate flag.
most texans aren’t told that part of the story though, so for them the connection to the flag is pretty different.
