 When creating a simple call to get all posts for all post types by default
 to the parameters are adding `post_status` parameter with `publish` value.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 get_posts(['post_type' => 'any']);
 }}}

 To the `WP_Query` instance are supplied followed arguments:

 {{{#!php
 <?php //wp-includes/post.php:2053
 [
   "numberposts" => 5
   "category" => 0
   "orderby" => "date"
   "order" => "DESC"
   "include" => []
   "exclude" => []
   "meta_key" => ""
   "meta_value" => ""
   "post_type" => "any"
   "suppress_filters" => true
   "post_status" => "publish"
   "posts_per_page" => 5
   "ignore_sticky_posts" => true
   "no_found_rows" => true
 ]
 }}}

 All attachment posts have `inherit` post status so by default are ignored
 in this query.

 To actually get all post types the first function parameters should be
 expended by `post_status` parameter with `['publish', 'inherit']` value.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 get_posts(['post_type' => 'any', 'post_status' => ['publish',
 'inherit']]);
 }}}
