GR is a theory of the bulk. It’s like fluid mechanics, which treats fluids as infinitely divisible and doesn’t acknowledge the existence of molecules: There’s no way it’s accurate at small enough scales that molecules matter, which is what would be happening inside a black hole.
At larger scales, however, fluid mechanics is extremely reliable.
