Entropy is not a state, it’s a conjugate variable

It is many-body systems, i.e. systems composed of many interacting particles, which is not only mathematically complex but can also defy classical expectations due to emerging phenomena, etc.
In principle you’re right, but there’s an important distinction: Maximal entropy corresponds to a uniform probability distribution. It’s the configuration where we have lost all information, i.e. are most clueless.
