Yes, but it is completed and therefore fixed. The number of nines in
0.999... does not change when shifted by one step.

But it must be infinite, and thus not have an "end"

But it must be complete and therefore in linear order must have an end.

In what sense are infinite sets incomplete?
 

Right. Some people instantly think of the finite when somebody says, all of the natural numbers... That line of thought is wrong. Saying all does not imply finite at all. ;^)
