New description:

 Apparently `wp_list_authors` is loading a deprecated WordPress class
 called WP Search Users, this class has now been replaced with WP Query
 Users but `wp_list_authors` keeps using WP Search Users.

 However the case wp list authors is only accepting some parameters,
 neither through array or through post accepted more parameter, meaning
 that something like this worked:

 {{{
 wp_list_authors('orderby=name&order=DESC');
 }}}

 but something like this did not:

 {{{
 wp_list_authors('orderby=name&order=ASC');
 }}}

 or even
 {{{
 wp_list_authors('orderby=name&order=DESC&optioncount=1');
 }}}


 My original code wasn’t working because it was stated as follows:

 {{{
 $authors = str_replace( ', ', '<br>', wp_list_authors([
                         'style'                 => 'none',
                         'optioncount'   => 1,
                         'echo'                  => 0
                 ]) );
                 echo $authors;
 }}}
