I’d say that “practical’ has two main meanings. One is “achievable given certain constraints and limits”, the antonym is “impractical”. Two is “focusing on the direct outputs”, the antonym is a bit hard to come by but the opposite meaning is, basically, “done for status/signaling purposes”.
Neither of the two meanings implies simplicity or bluntness.
It is, of course, in a trivial way
Practicality is usually in some sense “trivial”, not so? Is there any sense in which the word implies complexity or subtlety?
To me, practicality doesn’t imply triviality.
