Probably because that's the only mode built into the driver near your desired mode. Just put an appropriate modeline in your xorg.conf. Probably you can google it. But 1366 is a bit strange, though.

If > so, why isn't 1360x768 stretched to 1366? Probably internal logic of the monitor. You'd have to ask its manufacturer reg. the "why". BTW, you didn't tell how the monitor is connected.
