The -th suffix is used to represent a fraction of a whole.

Any digit in the ones place represents wholes, not a fraction of a whole; thus it is the ones and not the oneths place.
Because it is to the left of the decimal point.

Only the places to the right of the decimal place have the -th suffix which represents a fraction of a whole.

The ones place is to the left of the decimal point, so it does not have the -th suffix.
