Good observation. This is more apparent if you switch to decimal notation, (For want of a better term. I'm sure there's a name for it, I just don't know what to call the decimal point when you're talking about binary. Surely "decimal" point is wrong.)
In binary:
0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001 + 0.0001 + ... = 0.1111... = 1
In decimal:
0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 = ... = 0.999... = 1
