                    ],
                    "message": "the owner record does not exist"
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "extensions": {

            "actualQueryCost": 10,
            "throttleStatus": {
                "maximumAvailable": 1000.0,
                "currentlyAvailable": 990,
                "restoreRate": 50.0
            }
        }
    }
}

Owner ID exists, because it’s taken from Product.image[0].id

Based on what I’ve found privateMetafields can be added only on Shop, Product and Variant.
