Or is that a quirk of trying to reproduce it on a 2-D surface trying to reproduce a 3-D analogy?

    Are there examples of hypervolumes in real life/reified?

    How are they applied or to what end are they useful beyond the purely mathematical?

      That’s a tricky question! But it is mostly used in purely mathematical contexts currently. Though, as with so much of pure math, we don’t always know in advance what will end up being useful in the material world.
