I want to link an author to everything from any post type that they publish on the website

Looking at the function source on https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_authors/ you can see that the post type of post is hard coded into the sql query that returns the authors and post counts.

You could clone the function and add other post types as an argument, but I don’t see a more elegant solution sadly.
