> Doesn't it technically also contain its own address

Huh? Then you probably don't understand the meaning of "contains" here. Or what variables are in general. Variables are hard...

Well, the way I see it is this: you, as a person, contain your thoughts and possessions and so on - call it your value. But you also exist in space and time, you have a defined location. You don't carry it in your pocket, it's something you implicitly contain.
