For public, I don’t know minimum requirements in the US.

Can you please prove the reference of IBC, NFPA 1 and 101?

I do not use NFPA 1 or 101 as often I will concentrate on the ICC model codes.

Residual pressure and flow requirement are dependent for which client, Country, AHJ or occupancy working for?

NFPA 13 does not influence hydrant design the fire code (IFC, NFPA 1) and NFPA 24 do.

My understanding is that NFPA 13 requirements are for minimum flow demand (manual firefighting) considering that the entire facility is adequately protected by sprinklers.
