The arms are designed that way for two reasons. One, it's a tribute to how the ShodaiGoji's arms were very scrawny and almost impossible to move, and second it's a realistic way to show damage from exposure to an atomic bomb. Not only did the skin get burned off his arms, but the muscles and nerves were likely completely fried, causing his arms to essentially shrivel up and get locked in place. I really don't see what is so bad about that design choice. Godzilla probably won't even require extensive use of his arms. And if that theory that Godzilla regenerates throughout the film is true, his arms could look different as he heals.
