How does light store and transfer HUGE amount of data yet it’s still the fastest thing in the universe?

I’m not sure if I worded my question correctly, but let me try to explain more.

If we use a giant telescope to look at another planet 10 light years away from us, we would be looking at how it was 10 years ago. The thing I don’t understand is how does light store and also transfer all the information about that planet (or all the “data” that ends up in our eyes) and yet it’s still the fastest thing.

Coming off the question of this guy, how the fuck do photons carry color.

Like I get that it’s a different frequency and whatever, but this shit is confusing.
