This is wrong - access=private means no router can determin whether you as user may AT ALL use that road. So all routers drop roads with access=private from their graph. No way to use it. This is IMHO the correct way of treating *=private and in accordance with the wiki. If you want usage of roads only on the tail use *=destination. Even that is broken with most routers as they only increase cost per distance on those ways which is wrong as it will still use that roads as through roads if the alternative cost is high enough. And there are even more artefacts by solving *=destination by cost per distance. I fight against excessive use of *=private in Germany for a long time but people are confused and mix up ownership, destination and are pretty quick with issuing access=private on roads. I am analysing data for parts of Germany for problems with that by using the nearest api call with OSRM and listing OSM Addresses with more than e.g. 100m to the next legal road. Sometimes the nearest road is on the other side of the railway, river or whatever. Using access=private means -> broken - Same is with excessive use of track. The problem here is NOT the routers who drop access=private.
