Being too polite will slow down your personal growth. In contrast, honest and constructive criticism is the highest form of respect.

Personally, I wouldn't use the word "better" to describe the relationship of being blunt and being polite. Because, yes being blunt means you aren't oppressing yourself to mask the truth for other peoples ego. But, it also ruins many relationships(or friendships) and ruins how other people view themselves; thats why many prefer being "polite" and hide their opinions instead of being blunt and saying it out loud. Overall, I think both of them have equal pros and cons and it really depends on the person and their social environment.
