In a shiur I  recnelt heard the rav stressed that the difference in
walking up a ramp or up steps is very little. The idea of the prohibition
of steps is that in the bet hamikdash one has to be aware of even small
differences.

I find any connection between this prohibition and what the cohanim wore
and its application to wearing pants very strange. This is strictly a
halacha of the bet hamikdash and has no application to anything else.

BTW to the best of my knowledge trousers was introduced by the
Mongol invasion.
