The Schwarzschild solution is a coordinate-dependent idealization; no realistic collapsed star produces a perfect Schwarzschild geometry, so the 'center' is a model artifact, not a physical absence.

idealization(Pragmatist response to the quantum mechanics / molecular shape paradox)
A pragmatic simplification — such as treating an open system as closed — that is useful for practical purposes but does not accurately represent physical reality.
model artifact(as used in philosophy of science)
A feature that exists only because of how we built or designed the model, not because it corresponds to something real in nature.
