It's not about software that can't handle the precision (the software can). It's about the message the false precision conveys. By stating a value out to that many decimal places, they are stating that the location is good to a millimeter. But the location was almost certainly captured by a GPS device that can only locate you down to a 5 meter radius. They've provided a value that implies a point, when they should be providing a value that defines a circle.
