should tz take the trouble to implement a fractional second which was not realistically accurate?

TZDB records idealized civil time, not actual civil time which would be a much harder task. So it doesn't much matter whether the idealized time is realistically accurate. This is true for both Amsterdam (where the idealized UT offset was not an integer number of seconds) and Paris (where it was).
