Ah yes, the private entitlements. There's also a private entitlement to disable Apple Pay/PassKit so that it doesn't clash with things like barcodes (for example transit). That one is pretty Google-able though.

Ah, reminds me of the time almost everyone in our group got stuck in a train station. The people with androids had to let us out because our iPhones would open Apple Pay and obscure the barcode.

Just FYI this is available from Apple on request by any developer, you just need to write to them to explain the use case. I guess this is just to prevent abuse.

I guess it's a little less secret than a camera multitasking entitlement, still not a super "public" thing.
