The Simulator comes free with Xcode. And it's actually pretty usable in terms of performance compared to the Emulator you get with Android Studio.
Either you get a $75 iPhone SE or you have something for free with your MacBook. Anyone with a computer still wants to use a hardware Android device for any serious testing. And then there's the differences between all of the builds between the brands. I bet you want to test on a Xiaomi before you want to declare that push notifications work.

Still every Xcode update is coupled to the OS version because of that. I guess we need to be grateful that we don't need to install macOS betas to target the beta version of iOS.
