True.  However, most speedtalk proponents intend to put their systems
to actual use in the real world, so practicality *is* a concern.
And on the other hand, even fictional languages are usually imagined
by their inventors to be actually used by some sort of (fictional)
people, so practicality matters in that trade as well, in some way.
If someone presents a fictional language with e.g. 850 phonemes, 385
noun cases, 117 verb aspects etc., this will invite the question,
"How do the speakers of your language cope with the language's
complexity?"  That's what I mean.

Yes.  It definitely is.
