I have noticed the following directory with data that also doesn't seem cleaned up. I used the visionOS simulator a couple times just for fun, last launch months ago. Even after removing the runtimes these DYLD caches are not removed by Xcode (no surprise) but DevCleaner also doesn't seem to detect them currently:

I considered that. But those caches will be recreated in the moment you boot simulator (or use Previews) again.
They're refreshed every time you boot simulator, and from what I can see - this cache is actually removed if you don't have specific runtime installed (unless I'm wrong - help from you guys here would be nice!)
The only case that would be worth clean - is when someone is NOT using simulator at any times - macOS developers, guys who are using only devices. Please consider though that any kind of "preview" in Xcode is using Simulator.
I'll keep it open for a while, I'm interested what you guys think?
