I've heard that Pope Francis disliked the Cappa Magna, but Burke's vestments in the pictures you posted are nothing but the Cardinal's official clothing, not Raymond Burke's personal fashion statement.

The Pope could no more criticize that than criticize a U.S. Marine office for wearing Dress Blues.

Given his choice among various papal vestments, Pope Francis has generally chosen less regal ones. It seems he expects other Catholic clerics to do similarly.
