Same with 9th chords. There's only 7 notes in a scale.

And literally most to all World Music.

Micro-tonality and Derek Trucks comes to mind as someone
who has incorporated far more than 12 notes into his "Western"

I'm not much of a jazz player, but the 13th chord is one of my favorite chords. Very useable in funk, R&B, blues, pop, soul, easy listening etc. It's also one of the easiest chords to finger.

 

[Gothi]

The 13 chord is what it is. It is Jazz that is the hoax.

Jazz players have been responsible for a lot of hoaxes trying to justify their use of wrong notes.
