It is easier for people with a basic level of mathematical skills to understand decimal numbers with only a few digits after the decimal point. Besides, few labels refer to things which are packaged with an accuracy of more than 2 places after the decimal point.

There would simply not be enough space to print all recurring decimals on a label. Plus recurring decimals and infinite in length, meaning this is not really possible.
