If one doesn’t have a spotter for bench presses, I think benching in a power rack with safety bars (or a squat rack with safety arms) is preferable for reasons related to avoiding death.
However, if the power/squat racks are full, I do think proper etiquette is to use the bench press racks and just ask around for a spotter.
