Simulators do not appear to be installed after a "successful install"

I am running Xcode 13 beta 5. I tried installing some older, iOS 11.4 simulators:
xcversion simulators --install='iOS 11.4'
It completes successfully. xcversion simulators says that it was installed:
iOS 11.4 Simulator (installed)
Xcode does seem to be aware that the iOS 11.4 simulators were installed:

However, xcrun simctl list does not show any 11.4 simulators:
...
== Devices ==
-- iOS 11.4 --
-- iOS 15.0 --
iPhone 8 (ED680A86-07C3-4BBB-9C5C-F13217B57E97) (Shutdown)
iPhone 8 Plus (9517AFD7-7D69-4517-BC22-F94A4F3AC7F9) (Shutdown)
...
If I try running the install command again, I get an error that they are already installed:
[!] iOS 11.4 Simulator is already installed.
What should I do?
Maybe I was mistaken to assume that xcode-install would automatically create the simulators after the install command. I was able to manually create a simulator with this command:
# xcrun simctl create [name] [device] [runtime]
xcrun simctl create 'iPhone 8 (iOS 11.4)' 'iPhone 8' com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-11-4
