@Ivan Unger, the difference between public and private groups is "Everyone except external users" is added to the Members group for the team site. Toggling between public and private adds or removes this. I guess "Everyone except external users", being a standard sharepoint group, is understood by Office Graph.
Yes, that much is clear. But there is an additional permission compontent for public groups, since you technically have permission to the content, but are not yet member of a public group just because it exists. This component, whatever it is, also handles the visiblity your group memberships (e.g. Outlook Web left nav pane).
What I've meant by "difference" was in regard to search. Why can't the search service (or Office Graph?) find the files from private groups that I'm allowed to access through a direct permission assignment, but on the other hand is able to find files through the "everyone except external users" assignment.
