It does doesn’t it?
The higher the number of bits, the more entropy in the system.

It’s a pointlessly obscure way of saying there are more numbers

Its a measure of the randomness of numbers in the system, ie the definition of entropy.
People do use it to sound cool, but this use still fits its mathematic definition.

I know. Its still pointlessly obscure

No it absolutely does, the method they used to generate private keys ended up having just 8 shannons of entropy which led to the discovery we are discussing
