Practical is that you are not dragging your fingers and knuckles when on a flat surface and like Andy said, you can get more of a flush cut. When the handles are out in the open, either is fine, but when in a narrow opening, the angle may hinder reaching far enough.
The variables are the why if you work on enough stuff, you will eventually want both.

I'm curious if anyone with lots of experience has to say about the practical difference, though. Is the angle ever annoying or is the added versatility a pure win?

Kinda wish they were flush but they don't really make high-leverage flush ones, best I can tell?

The angle is also useful for lifting nails and staples - with the caveat that these are pretty sharp and the cutting leverage is quite high, so you'll need to be careful to not squeeze too hard and cut the nail you're trying to remove, if using them for this purpose.

With enough patience, one could wet grind this into a very tough pair of flush cutters, but likely, it would still be easily damaged by even thin hard wire.
