It appears that the interface formation is driven by the competition or compensation between entropy and internal energy. While these compensation effects have not been discussed in the context of metal-water interface thermodynamics, these concepts are well established in biophysics. While the full mechanistic details behind the entropy-energy compensation are still debated, it is clear that the low-frequency vibrations and slow water dynamics significantly contribute to the entropy. While strong interactions such as hydrogen bonding or adsorption lead to favorable energetic contributions, they slow water reorganization and lower entropy.
