Problem with WP core function to get user dropdown

Description

Why does WP pass the argument 'who' => 'authors' on line 1014 of core file /wp-admin/includes/class-wp-posts-list-table.php. Which then causes WP to check the $dbprefix_user_level meta key in the database for that user, which is as far as I know, is a deprecated method of checking that.

This then stops WP from showing authors with enough caps (but level_0 for some reason) in the 'Author' dropdown on the page quick edit function.
