It is not. It is quite low. The number of possible states grows at a faster rate than the rate necessary to maintain “infinity.” It’s only true if you assert that all possible states at a branch are added to the set, which is a tautology.
A fun puzzle. Let’s say you have an empty set whose members are sets. You add a set to it of infinite size (like the set of all positive integers). Next, you add another set to it whose size is also infinite but whose members are not contained in the first set. Now you repeat this process an infinite number of times.
You have an infinite set of infinite sets. The question is: is such a set possible and, if so, does your infinite set of infinite sets necessarily contain all possible infinite sets?
That is generally how "multiverses"/branching timelines are handled, yes.
Nor can any file system store the "concept of an orange".
File systems are really just pointers to numbers, if you think about it.

Nobody claimed "the concept of an orange" can be found. The claim that the word "orange" can't be found, however, is provably false.
If we're going by this logic, then nothing but 0 and 1 can ever be stored on any medium, because a hard drive can't possibly store "the concept of an orange" either.

And you know this with certainty.... how? With enough branches in a truly infinite timeline, the likelihood of there being a combination which produces a specific outcome is quite high.
