Does the average male beginner really bench only 47kg/ 103lbs for their 1RM?

Pretty sure when I started I was benching with 17.kg dumbbells for reps but I started off really weak from rotting all my life.

men that aren't literal genetic dead ends can bench their bodyweight once or so when they start.

Intermediate should be around 115-120kg

True, but starting point doesn’t necessarily correlate to progress.
 
Average guy should be benching around 120kg after his first session. 2.5 plates sounds about right.

progress mostly correlates with your willingness to suffer, you can make it to national level even if your genes for strength are shit with just raw autism, but not past that.
