How come fuel cell cars have tanks holding like 10kg of liquid hydrogen?

Because fuel cells are very efficient at turning fuel to electricity, especially compared to an ICE.
Because hydrogen is the energy densest fuel by mass, but not by volume.
Nitpick: It's typically compressed hydrogen for cars.
That's not ICE.
