I don't think anybody said using "15ma bassa" is fundamentally bad. Just that in most cases there are other possibilities that are easier and quicker to read. Personally, I have used this sign before (although rarely) and I find it does have applications where it's useful, particularly on the piano where transposing by octaves is something much easier to do than on most other instruments (and quite idiomatic).
The point is merely to consider all alternatives, keeping in mind traditional usage of such signs, and thinking about what way of writing down a specific passage is the clearest, most direct and least ambiguous notation.
