Uniform Hashing. Understanding space occupancy and choice of functions I'm having troubles understanding two things from some notes about Uniform Hashing.
Here's the copy-pasted part of the notes:

Let us first argue by a counting argument why the uniformity property,
we required to good hash functions, is computationally hard to
guarantee. Recall that we are interested in hash functions which map
keys in $U$ to integers in $\{0, 1, ..., m-1\}$. The total number of such
hash functions is $m^{|U|}$, given that each key among the $|U|$ ones can be
mapped into $m$ slots of the hash table. In order to guarantee uniform
distribution of the keys and independence among them, our hash
function should be anyone of those ones. But, in this case, its
representation would need $\Omega(log_2 m^{|U|}) = \Omega(|U| log_2 m)$ bits, which is
really too much in terms of space occupancy and in the terms of
computing time (i.e. it would take at least $\Omega(\frac{|U|log_2 m}{log_2 |U|})$ time to just
read the hash encoding).

The part I put in bold is the first thing is confusing me.
Why the function should be any one of those? Shouldn't you avoid a good part of them, like the ones sending every element from the universe $U$ into the same number and thus not distributing the elements?
The second thing is the last &quot;$\Omega$&quot;. Why would it take $\Omega(\frac{|U|log_2 m}{log_2 |U|})$  time just to read the hash encoding?
The numerator is the number of bits needed to index every hash function in the space of such functions, the denominator is the size in bits of a key. Why this ratio gives a lower bound on the time needed to read the encoding? And what hash encoding?
Suppose that we sample a hash function $h$ at random from a collection $\mathcal{H}\subseteq [m]^U$ (we denote by $[m]$ the set $\{0,1,...,m-1\}$). The best possible thing we can require from this choice is that $\left(h(x_1),h(x_2),....,h(x_{|u|})\right)$ are jointly uniformly distributed over $[m]^U$, where $U=\{x_1,...,x_{|U|}\}$ (this in turn implies independence). Fix some $h_0\in [m]^U$, then under the previous requirement we have:
$\Pr\limits_{h\sim\mathcal{H}}[h=h_0]=\Pr\limits_{h\sim\mathcal{H}}\left[h(x_1)=h_0(x_1)\land...\land h(x_{|U|})=h_0(x_{|U|})\right]=\frac{1}{m^{|U|}}$.
It follows that $h$ is uniformly distributed over all possible functions in $[m]^U$ (in any other case we will fail either in uniformity or in independence). This is what is meant by &quot;$h$ should be anyone of these functions&quot;.
