> It is nice we provide some information on why this feature is disabled when a site is marked as private. In this particular instance though (as I am an administrator) it might be nice to explain that publicize is off due to the privacy settings I have chosen.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by enabling the Privates Sites Module and opening Jetpack > Settings > Sharing. Trace the override message shown for the disabled Publicize feature and determine where its default reason is selected. Done means an override can provide a more specific reason, including the site's privacy setting, instead of always using the default.
