I'm wondering if it's possible to make a private key accessible to everyone. I know it's typically meant to be kept secret, but I'm curious if there are any scenarios where sharing it publicly would be acceptable or even beneficial.

Since the private key cannot be guessed from the public key, users can share their public keys without concern.
