The proof is done with raw numbers and geometry so doing it with physical objects would be worse, even the MS paint is a bad way to present it but it’s easier on the eyes than just numbers.
Mathematicians would be very excited if you could find a better way to pack them such that they can be bigger.
So it’s not like there is no way to improve it. It’s just that we haven’t found it yet.
It is confirmed. I don’t understand it very well, but I think this video is pretty decent at explaining it.
