Comment (by sippis):

 Looks like WordCamps with private statuses are removed purposely from the
 main list, see changeset [4804]. In that changeset, Corey did set the main
 list to contain only public statuses and restricted fully private status
 listings (eg https://central.wordcamp.org/wp-json/wp/v2/wordcamps?status
 =wcpt-mtp-rejected).

 Replying to [comment:1 iandunn]:
 > Similar to #4047, I personally prefer to err on the side of transparency
 unless there's a tangible privacy or security reason to make the data
 private.

 In my opinion, in this case, there might be a privacy reason. Unlike in
 meetup endpoint, WordCamp endpoint has custom fields added to the
 response. Those fields contain applicants name and w.org usernames, for
 example. Yeah, public application status report page does contain that
 information also but only for a limited period - public status reports
 don't.
