Add an optional "unavailable_text" attribute to <dtconfig>. When the entry's capability check fails, its text replaces the generic "not available on this system" tooltip. Without it, the generic one is kept.
I went ahead and filled in such texts for all capability-gated entries so they state the actual reason.

Fill it in for all capability-gated entries so they state the actual
reason: no OpenCL device, fewer than two OpenCL devices, macOS/Windows
only OpenCL platforms, and a build without PortMidi.
