Nic is correct. The complete list of restricted functions in Cloud is here.

Cloud also has the Div macro, which you can use to add CSS to specific parts of a page - this is a recent answer for a Cloud user that shows an example of using the Div macro to customise the content of a panel, for example.

The option should either be completely hidden or it should provide some sort of indicator as to why it's not available.

Yes, that would seem to be the better approach! Most of the restricted functions are hidden or removed, but there are some anomalies and this appears to be one of them.

Ah, ok, thought so.  Customised CSS is something Atlassian restrict on Cloud

I think we're all wondering why stir up a mess by having the disabled checkbox visible at all. If they can make it disabled, they can make it hidden...

Absolutely feels like a taunt. 

I understand the security issue, and why it's disabled.

However... Having it there when I have no say in changing it is... well.. a taunt. As @Chris Purser said... "If they can make it disabled, they can make it hidden..."

Or simply... removed.
