You have "Use Adaptive Layers" turned on in the Experimental section. Your Maximum Variation is 0.10mm. Since there are no curves to calculate adaptive layers for - Cura figures each layer height +0.10 since that's what it is being told to use.
So the math (for this model) is really 10/.3 = 33.3. Since Cura will not print a layer that is outside the model you end up with a model that is 33 layers tall and 9.9mm instead of the full 10mm tall.
You can see in the Gcode that the last Z height (gcode Layer:32) is:
Turn off "Make Overhangs Printable" in the Experimental section as well. Like "Remove All Holes" it's a niche setting that is handy when you need it but can just be confusing when you don't. Horizontal holes will all print with a chamfer inside because it's an overhang and Cura is making it printable.
