Spanish Minimum Grouping Digits should be 1

Description

The Minimum Grouping Digits for Spanish (Spain) is set to 2:

https://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/es/Symbols/70ef5e0c9d323e01

As a native Spanish speaker I've never seen such behaviour and for me the correct setting would clearly be 1.

I've seen there are other votes for using "1" so I'd like to add mine there.

Given that "es" is used for latin american variants, it could be that the right setting would be 2 for those countries, although in past releases, I've seen that es_419 override that value with "1", so it seems there may be controversy there too.

PS: We detected this issue by using Google Chrome, which uses ICU, and was reported to us by our customers that are using our web-based application with this browser. They switched to Firefox

  • Bulk moving all issues that are not docs, docs-spec, charts, or BRS to the next release.

  • Resetting priority of all issues with priority 'major' to 'major-stretch'

Adding another piece of stakeholder context - I work for a major athletic technology company where one of our key product competencies is number formatting; our language specialist for ES-es agrees that the minimumGroupingDigits here should be 1. I’m going to patch this behavior in our application layer for now, but I look forward to hopefully being able to remove this patch in the future.
