why do you say that a PKI cert for a private entity cannot possibly be valid? I have quite a few servers in my company that prove different.

Your certs are probably for something like hostname.office.mycompany.com, which is perfectly fine.
A cert for the IP address "192.168.0.1" though, is *NOT* fine, there's no way a CA could possibly verify that you own that address (since, well, you don't).

certs are generally not issued for IP addresses in the first place, be they public IP addresses or private IP addresses.

Sure they are. Google finds me this, for example:
