When running the Buffer tool or the Pairwise Buffer tool with a distance value of 10 or close to 10 (9.999), regardless of the unit of measure, it generates too many vertices compared to other values.

Additional Information
By default, for the Buffer tool (all methods) and the Pairwise Buffer tool (geodesic method only), there are jumps in the deviation at certain distances, which explains what is being seen: (meters) if (distance <= 1.0) return 0.001; if (distance <= 1000.0) return 0.1; if (distance <= 10000.0) return 1.0; if (distance <= 100000.0) return 5.0; return 10.0; For the Pairwise Buffer tool, set the Max Offset Deviation parameter value to control the output vertex count. The Buffer (Analysis) tool would not be providing control over this. The Pairwise Buffer tool documentation points to the Densify documentation, which gives additional information on max deviation. Refer to https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/editing/densify.htm.Workaround
The Pairwise Buffer tool provides the Maximum Offset Deviation parameter to provide some control over this.
