Tom Slominski gave more information on the question:
Hi, thanks for your reply.
For not as advanced users like my parents, a simple list with all users
visible at a time is far easier to understand than a dropdown. My mum
particularly was distressed about her name only being visible on the
screen. I doubt there is any one solution that is perfect for all use cases.
