You're right, it only goes back to iOS 8.1, but you do get the devices for all current iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and watchOS.
Of course having a real device is much better, but as a web developer, this helped me pick up a Safari only bug very easily without needing to spend on a real device.
You can use OSX's debugger in Safari to remote debug a web page in the simulator, which I think is pretty neat.
