I feel the most interesting implication of the enclosing surface being a complete description of the enclosed volume and its contents implies the contents don’t need to exist. If you think physics as the set of rules that applied to one full state of reality can completely give it’s next state, then having redundant representations is wasteful and the interior of the enclosed volume, as the interior of the black hole, might not need to exist, or to be represented at all. If you extend this to the full spacetime we inhabit, it all would be the encoded in its boundary and, therefore, only the boundary is needed.
