Comment (by tharsheblows):

 `wp_dropdown_users()` is filterable and people (including me 😊 ) will be
 using it even with large sites so it shouldn't be skipped.

 What to do depends on the scope of this ticket -- I'm not sure if updating
 `wp_dropdown_users()` is within scope or not, there is an open ticket here
 #19867 so probably not.

 Instead of doing the check on `wp_is_large_user_count()` in this patch:
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/2493/files , take out
 both checks there (ie the patch and the reason for it). Then commit this
 and work on the `wp_dropdown_users()` ticket above.

 I think but am not completely 100% sure that that's the only place
 `wp_is_large_user_count()` is used to conditionally load
 `wp_dropdown_users()` but if there are more in this patch, remove those as
 well.
