Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 I don't think adding support for unbound requests to the REST API is a
 good idea. It breaks the contract and is not scalable or performant. I
 posted an alternate fix for the Gutenberg author dropdown that avoids the
 need for adding unbound queries, if this gets merged we can close this.
