Is this a star that's collapsing into the massive black hole as it's 50x size of earth? What is unique about this object and why isn't there a better understanding of its origins given how advanced our understanding of black holes and life cycle of celestial objects like stars

I think of it as the difference between understanding a lot about water and knowing it's made of hydrogen and oxygen versus building a microscope that can actually see the molecules and atoms interact. You can predict a lot of the behaviors via understanding the macro effects of these objects, but when you can finally the (scale considered) micro effects you may observe some deviations from your theoretical expectations.
