No, it doesn't "take up less physical space".

Yes .. it does

It is just a projective
effect THROUGHOUT.
Read references [9][10] here:

Sorry .. but you are wrong there. See the rod and barn paradox for a nice
example. A contracted 'moving' rod takes up less physical space in a
'stationary' frame at a given time in that frame.
