This looks to have been a conflation by the GP between the volume of the unit sphere itself and its ratio to the volume of its bounding cube (which is not the unit cube.) The volume of the sphere does top out at an unintuitive dimension, but indeed the ratio of the two is always decreasing - and intuitively, each additional dimension just adds more space between the corners of the cube and the face of the sphere.
