I think the other user meant that ls output is not supposed to be treated as parsable, because the tool doesn't offer any guarantees in that regards.

Shells have built-in support for globbing files anyway. xargs is also not needed. If someone is allergic to using a shell for loop, find always had -exec with ; instead + which wouldn't trip on too many arguments.
