This seems to be conflating 0.333…3 with 0.333… One is infinitesimally close to 1/3, the other is a decimal representation of 1/3. Indeed, if 1-0.999… resulted in anything other than 0, that would necessarily be a number with more significant digits than 0.999… which would mean that the failed to be an infinite repetition.
