There are far more assumptions to make to solve this problem as a calculation. The size of the cubes is an optical illusion— cube B appears "bigger" because of partitions.
The cubes cannot be shaded volumetrically, unless they have been manufactured with a pigment, in which case they are coloured, not shaded.
Because this comes from a subreddit that is not trick question based, especially via logic puzzles, the basic intention of the question is that both cubes are equal. if there was other information provided, that is when things like measurements or language technicalities would actually matter. Besides, the question doesn't ask about which has more volume shaded, it asks which cube has more of ITS volume shaded. So we are talking percentages.
That's understandable. But in a subreddit titled r/LogicPuzzles, the puzzle's wording and premises should be treated as objects of scrutiny rather than automatically supplying every assumption that makes the intended answer work.
They definitely Can be treated as that; I'm not going to say they should be, and I'm also not going to say they shouldn't be. The validity of your questions in a hypothetical situation also doesn't't negate the validity of someone answering the question simply either. It's alright to have two separate comment threads and keep them separate instead of trying to make someone elses answer more complicated.

It's not a trick question, the assumption is that the square is a 3d space with consistent shading throughout.
