While we're on this... it is arguably even more befuddling to recognize that the information content potential of space apparently correlates with the surface area rather than volume

It makes sense when you realize that all the information inside a black hole is present at its surface. An object itself approaches singularity, but to an outside observer it never crosses the event horizon, so everything "inside" (in its own view) is also "on the surface" to an outside observer.
Dimensions, and hence surfaces and volumes are part of our “tooling” used to understand the world (epistemic) rather than being intrinsic to nature. So the befuddling is related to our own interpretation.
