How can the center of a black hole have an infinitesimally small area even though a Planck area is the smallest area matter can occupy?

The Planck area is a quantum mechanical description of space, which general relativistic frameworks, like the ones which allow for black holes, are notoriously incompatible with. This is the basis for why physicists are trying so hard to come up with a "unified theory" -- one that would reconcile the quirks between QM and GR.
