In many common Multisite use cases, the network administrator will want to set a network-wide privacy policy -- via the `privacy_policy_url` filter -- for consistency and convenience. When that's done, the Privacy Settings screen on individual sites becomes unnecessary, and may confuse administrators of those sites when they see that their changes don't have any effect on the policy link in the footer.
Since we can't programatically determine which behavior the network admins would like, the safest default setting is to restrict the ability to super admins, and let them delegate it to individual site owners via a plugin, if they'd like to.

The page was originally placed under `Tools` so that it would be grouped with the pages to export and erase personal data, since they're all part of the effort to bring privacy management tools to Core ahead of GDPR's deadline. After more consideration, though, it makes sense to move this page to the `Settings` menu, since it's fundamental purpose is to configure an option, rather than to facilitate a recurring task. This keeps all of the configuration pages in a single place, making them consistent and easier to find.
Exporting and erasing personal data are recurring tasks, so they still make sense under the `Tools` menu.

In these contexts, "privacy policy" is not a proper noun, and therefore should not be capitalized.
The remaining uses are page titles and section headers, where capitalization is appropriate.

The previous sentence was gramatically awkward, and using the term "compliance" could accidentally be mistaken by a site owner for a promise by WordPress that their site will be compliant after using the tool, which is not necessarily true.
