Why aren't the enderman spawning in the only possible location?
I'm in the end, in a space in the void, and near the bottom, at y = 2, where I'm not close to any specific piece of land where enderman can spawn. All spawnable places have been covered with slabs or lighting, all, but the four endstone blocks in front of me, in the enclosed, roofless 2x2 area.
Still, even with that area being the only one spawnable, no enderman are spawning at all. I've tried going away and coming back, I know they won't spawn if I'm already here, but no matter the case they don't spawn.
Am I missing something?

How much? Keep in mind that mobs follow this rule to spawn:
Since you only have a 2x2 spawnable area, it's easy to miss the correct distance to make them spawn. You need to be at least 24 blocks away, but if you exceed 32 blocks they can still despawn.

Why are there no enderman spawning?
Endermen require a 3x1x1 space to spawn and a light level of 7 or less. The darker the place the more likely it is to spawn, the only way to decrease spawn rates it to light up/fill in areas.Where are endermen most likely to spawn?
Endermen spawn rarely in soul sand valleys, uncommonly in nether wastes and most commonly in warped forests.How do you get endermen to spawn a lot?
To increase spawn rates, the farm is usually built at least 128 blocks away from the main end island or any other areas where enderman can spawn. Alternatively, you can prevent spawning on the main island by lighting above light level 7, or covering the main island with slabs or water.Why promised weapons aren't making it to Ukraine | DW News

Answer 2
There are a few things that are preventing spawning:
The light level is over 7
Due to the slab, there is less than 3 blocks of air above it preventing enderman from spawning.
Not completely sure: In the end enderman can only spawn on end stone but can teleport to other blocks.
