I think the warning message is there to remind you that private browsing mode has some major limitations. While Firefox destroys the history of your private browsing session, you are sending requests out of your computer over a network, and there are devices all along the way that can record what you are doing.

It's unlikely anyone is looking at your usage specifically, but sometimes telecom companies are required to turn over vast chunks of data for criminal or national security investigations. And, of course, there is hacking...
