This a matter of resolution. See, if you include a vertical line at x = 1,
then your curve will be indistinguishable from that line as you get close to
x = 1:
In[1]:=
n = 0.1; Plot[(1 - x)^n, {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}},
Epilog -> Line[{{1, 0}, {1, 1}}]]
The only way to include the part of the plot very close to x = 1 would be to
make it a vertical line.
