Comment:

 Please have a look at the documentation of the `update_count_callback`
 parameter in the WordPress Codex:
 https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy. This is
 by design.

 > Because an attachment is a type of post, the default
 _update_post_term_count() will be used. However, this may be undesirable,
 because this will only count attachments that are actually attached to
 another post (like when you insert an image into a post). This means that
 attachments that you simply upload to WordPress using the Media Library,
 but do not actually attach to another post will not be counted.
