Let's add the rationale here: it avoids loading potentially many values into memory by doing the calculations through the equivalent database function.

This would need to be marked unsafe because Ruby's sum/max aren't always compatible with the DB's:
User.pluck(:name).sum # "AliceBobCathy"
User.sum(:name) # PG::UndefinedFunction: ERROR: function sum(character varying) does not exist
# User.pluck(:email).max { |email| email.length } | ||
# User.pluck(:email).max(2) | ||
# User.pluck(:id, :company_id).max | ||
# User.pluck(:age).count |

This is kinda a weird counterexample, because User.count(:age)
would actually be more efficient and falls in line with this cop's premise. 🤔
Closes #1205.
In my app I found 11 offences of this cop.
