 See: #WP52076, r50490.

 WordPress 5.8 will ensure `current_user_can()`,
 `current_user_can_for_blog()`, and `user_can()` return the same results
 for anonymous (logged out) users.

 I have not yet identified any incompatibilities with this upstream change,
 but I am expecting at least a single something somewhere to be adversely
 affected. 🤣
