Does the users count include users with negative points?

Question

So the users with negative points, in case some of you didn't know, are hidden on the users list. This post's answer counts the amount of users that existed at that time, and it matched the current users count. So what I'm asking is, does this actually count users with negative points, or do they just cease to exist unless you find a URL of one of these users? I know they don't fully cease to exist thanks to this user I came across on a Meta post and this user I came across my just guessing the URL.

There are slightly different amounts of users in each section, but I don't think it's because of negative points.

I don't think it has anything to do with negative points, but rather how many accounts are shown on the users page. The very last account on the main site user page is 8 months old, while on Meta it's 11 months old, and on RMT it's 5 years old (interestingly, the last page of RMT includes me as well as several other users that are currently or were previously quite active). Probably has to do with something that decides when users that haven't done anything are added to the list.
