Typically in world championship matches the incumbent retains his
title in the event of a tie, but whatever prize money there is divided
equally. Perhaps Spassky wanted to play on because he still had a
chance at an even split of the prize money, whereas if he simply
conceded with the score 12-11 he also conceded the larger share to
Petrosian.
I recall, for example, that in the 1981 Women's WCh match between
Maya Chiburdanidze and Nana Alexandria, the incumbent Chiburdanidze
clinched a tie in the best-of-16 match by winning the 15th game,
making the score 8-7 in her favor (+4 -3 =3D8). However, even though
that clinched retaining the title for her, they still played the 16th
game. Alexandria won, and thus got an even split of the purse.

After 22 games, it was 12:10 in the match between
Petrosian and Spasski, in 1966, which meant that
Petrosian defended his title successfully. Spasski
insisted on playing, and won game 23, thus retaining
a chance for drawing the whole match. But the
last game was a draw, hence Petrosian won the match
12.5 : 11.5. Spasski spoiled the Petrosian's pleasure.
The reborn champion lost his very first game. But then,
it was in Petrosian's character.

It's over. There have been some title matches in which, after one
player clinched, the remaining games were still played out as
exhbition games, mainly to raise money. Alekhine-Euwe 1937 is an
example, if I recall correctly, and perhaps Alekhine-Bogolyubov 1934.
But this is not usual in world title matches.
