Unpopular opinion, but avarage one reppers don’t count, as those are always done with god awful form, using as much momentum as possible and almost no control over the weight.
1 RMS count only when preformed to competition standards.
For reps would mean that there is more control in it and the reps are cleaner.
3 would probably be bare minimum to qualify for reps, but the usual 8-12 range might be more appropriate aka working weight. It ensures there are at least some good reps in there. Obviously anything above that is more impressive.
Define “usual,” because in most strength programs I see, they rarely call for more than 5 reps in a work set (unless doing AMRAP where you need to do at least 3 or 5).
And I personally do my 1RM testing to competition form, but I get what you’re saying.
General recommendation that pops up when going online and searching for basic resistance training.
Not specific strength training as yeah recommended rep range for that is lower.
Though my opinion might not be specifically against 1rms, more against ego lifting and 225 bench seems to attract that a lot more than other lifts.
Cleanly preformed reps, even 1rms, are beautiful to watch.

How many we talking? 3? 5? 20?

I don’t lift anymore and am now 30% potato, but back in the day:
I would estimate a 1RM from a 5RM (5-rep max represents roughly 85% to 87% of 1RM) and found that more accurate than 10 or 3 but many use 3.
So, for example, if my 5RM was ~217-220 I would be comfortable claiming 255 1RM.
(In practice I was doing 250-280 in sets of 5-10, and had no issue with 300-310 1RM).
My vote is assured! Wait, do they take the vote away when you pull your tricep?
