Comment (by joyously):

 Templates apply to what is retrieved for display on the front end, which
 is from the post table, so if you make your author a post type you can use
 the existing template hierarchy to make a template for that post type.
 Template parts have a fallback mechanism, which is sort of like
 inheritance. It could be better than making a template because it affects
 only part of the page.

 For related tickets about the template algorithm, see #48175 and #43597

 Otherwise, authors in the user table are only shown by core in the admin,
 and not displayed with a template.
