Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 @westonruter I did some testing on some of block and classic themes. As
 you can see, if in 2019, I am seeing the user meta loaded if you have an
 author block in content. Once this block is removed, I do not see the
 author meta loading.

 In short, if you do render display name or other data that is loaded from
 user meta, the lazy loading is working, otherwise it is not loaded.

 This change, breaks nothing but it only of benefit if you do not load user
 capabilties or display name.
