Packed column should provide more relevant information.
For instance, packed shows the packed size of the singular file, which happens to be highly irrelevant in this case.

Well, that's the thing. I'm just not sure?
Given the multiple & varying ways that the data is presented as it is (by various utilities, command-line & GUI), perhaps an overall summary, or if not that, then the ability to "flatten" the listing? Or present it as it is with an option key to flatten or present an overall summary?

Or when you spacebar on the subdirectories, at the same time obtain & present the packed size of same.

Aha! So, you want:
a) additional columns
b) packed size of directories
