Comment (by Mamaduka):

 Reposting similar findings from the GitHub issue:

 There's a logic difference between `get_item_permissions_check` and
 `get_items_permissions_check`.

 * `get_item_permissions_check` - allows `context=view` requests as long as
 the user has one post published. https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/a1bce5f880b7c7b125f92fa468c2adedd354ece5/src/wp-includes
 /rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-users-controller.php#L488
 * `get_items_permissions_check` - allows `context=view` query for authors
 as long as the current user can edit posts. https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/9063e30f6f34d313ecdc3394f45ca63283732b24/src/wp-
 includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-users-controller.php#L236-L245

 I believe these inconsistencies need to be addressed in the REST API,
 which enables the editor to access related data.
