Not many computers can sustain that speed.

most computers these days *easily* can.

1Gb ethernet will always require some overhead, although from what I've
heard it should still allow around 950Mb or higher.

The Router will probably be more of a limit, although some can handle
over 900Mb (They claim 1Gb. That is the ethernet ports, not the routing
speed).

I can't transfer files in my
LAN at that speed, for instance. Closer to 700 or 800.

that could be due to a variety of things.

I'd expect the effective limit (the slowest one) is the disk drive the
file is being written to. The transfer should speed up if both computers
have NVMe drives.

950-970 mbit is typical.

most claim 'wire speed', i.e., the router or switch isn't the limiting
factor.
