I would not have accepted this pair at full price, even though this range of Cheaney is considered just a bit higher than entry-level (both quality and price wise). Something as visible as that is not acceptable to me. Easily fixed, but I shouldn't have to do it myself.
Snip it as close as you can to the leather. Whatever is left, dab it with PVA glue (white glue). Use a needle to poke it in to an appropriate stitch hole. PVA glue dries clear.
Classic styles from English makers are just that, classics. You can't really go wrong with them. So is it modern? Definitely not. That's not a bad thing though.
For an early 20s, you will be wearing something better than 99.9% of your peers.

You're right, even though its slightly above entry-level, these are still handmade shoes that have most likely been subjected to very close inspection by human eyes and handled by craftsmen throughout the entire manufacturing process, they should've seen these fray ends. Then again, I've heard that Allen Edmonds shoes have had some issues with QC as well, namely the welt and stitching. So I guess my case isn't that rare.
Thanks for the detailed instructions on how to deal with the loose threads.
In terms of style, I've just asked my peers about it and nearly all of them love the 2 eyelet design, its minimalistic while still carrying that classic aesthetic. Best of both worlds I guess.
