Not so sure about that, then it would be surface=stones, (note the
plural) wouldn't it?

There is a huge discussion on the #tagging channel on OSM slack (85+
replies) where all those "rocky" surface are being discussed.
Here are some statements from this discussion, also on the difference
between "surface=rock" and "surface=stone". Most from Brian Sperlongano
and Elliott Plack:
- Rock implies a rough naturalness
- Steps made of large (single-piece) hewn stone columns would be called
'stone steps'
- Bare [rock] implies the lack of rubble on top
- Scree is specially loose
- Personally I think bare_rock and stone are synonyms here, unless
someone thinks there's a difference.
- bare_rock has 569 usages, rock has 2759 usages and stone has 6402
usages, scree has 319 usages, rocky has 1400 uses

For Germans, I'd say stone roughly translates to "Stein" while rock
translates to "Fels". To summarize the above:
rock = rough natural stone, could be loose stones too
stone = smooth stone / bare rock, could be hewn
bare_rock = probably similar to stone, definitely no loose stones
scree = surface like (large) gravel, natural
rocky = scree is rocky, piles of differently sized rocks are rocky
