Yes, but so what?  The binary tree yields the uncountable
number of reals between zero and one in a countable
number of construction steps.

Please demonstrate the first several layers of this binary tree.

It's just the standard binary tree:

Under each node, consider the left branch to be a zero
and the right branch to be a one. At the end of each
branch is a node, from which drop two more branches,
another zero and one. Under the topmost node, where
I place the binary point, is the first row, consisting
of two branches ending in two nodes. Under that is the
second row, consisting of four branches and four nodes;
under that is the third row, consisting of eight branches
and eight nodes. And so on.
