Those are manufacturing tolerances.

There are no tolerances in the above, only probabilities of a given outcome.

Its actually due to the capabilities of the process used to create the object defined by the print/CAD model etc. As another poster stated, manufacturing tolerances.

General rule of thumb is that tighter tolerances/specifications incur higher costs to manufacture.
