Mostly because most of these digits are not representing any real data, it's just junk produced by decimal representation with overly big precision and produced by various conversions and calculations. We're just dragging around those meaningless characters that do not have any use and do not represent any data (nobody really measured that coordinate with micron precision and got 13.366666666667, what happened most probably that it was measured in another system, then calculation involved 40.1/3 (probably when converting degrees and minutes to decimal) and the result came out as 13.366666666667. And then we convert back, we'd get 40.100000000001 - again, junk data in 11 last decimal places.
