Comment (by westonruter):

 Question: How often are users queried in core ''without'' also getting the
 meta? For example, things as basic to a user such as `display_name` are
 stored not in `wp_users` but `wp_usermeta`. If most every query will need
 `wp_usermeta`, then adding lazy-loading will end up causing more queries
 not fewer, right? If so, then should this lazy-loading be opt-in and
 disabled by default?
