Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 I still think the REST API should expose a `who` query parameter that's
 passed directly through to `WP_User_Query`.

 While the underlying implementation of `user_level != 0` is awful, now
 isn't the best time to try to refactor it.

 It's worth noting capabilities can be modified at runtime, which makes
 them inherently unpredictable to query against.
