custom API ROUTE user count

Hi,

I am trying to make a custom API route that displays the number of users, so that I can use it on another website.

Code:

function getUserAmount() {
    $users = get_users(); // Get all wordpress users
   
    if ( empty( $users ) ) { // If there aren't any users display an error
      return 'There aren\'t any users to display.';
    }
    return count($users); // Return amount of users
}
/* Preparing to serve an API request */
add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
    register_rest_route( '/wp/v2', '/users', 
        array(
            'methods' => 'GET',
            'callback' => 'getUserAmount',
        )
    );
} );

Now, the problem is that I am using a custom field that determines if a user is ‘inactive’, and not displaying on the ‘our-people’ page if they are.
The API request counts ALL users, and ignores the custom field.

Is there any way that I can fix this?

Thanks!

if(!get_field('inactive', 'user_' . $user->ID))

^How it works on the ‘our-people’ page.
Is it maybe possible to process this if statement into the API request?

$users = get_users(); // Get all wordpress users
$active_users = array();
foreach ($users as $user) {
  if (!get_field('inactive', 'user_' . $user->ID)) {
    $active_users[] = $user;
  }
}
