Comment:

 I've seen similar petitions in some posts, but for other filters.
 Ultimately, WordPress has prioritized keeping filters minimal. As you can
 see, you can perfectly filter via URL, and you can easily add more filters
 with an extremely simple plugin. But by default, we could be filtering by
 not only author but many other things and it has been opted to keep then
 minimal, with the most frequently used filters and leave the extension to
 plugin developers. You can easily filter by "mine" though which is
 generally the most requested author filter by far.

 For this reason, as many other closed reports in the past with similar
 requests, this is not planned, plus remember that
 [https://make.wordpress.org/design/2023/08/10/admin-design-kickoff/ a new
 admin UI is coming] prob next year. Not sure if they will consider adding
 author as a filter, but definitely I would suggest you to take a look at
 the Gutenberg repo, as there is where this development and design is
 taking form right now.
