Bug with simctl list devices --json with duplicate sim runtime identifiers

runtime_json_bug.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -x

xcrun simctl delete all

DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode-15.0.0.app/Contents/Developer xcrun simctl create "Made with Xcode 15" "iPhone 15 Pro" "com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-17-0"

set +x; echo -e "\n\n+++++++++++++++++++++ Device shows up with Xcode 15.0.0 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"; set -x
# Shows the newly created simulator
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode-15.0.0.app/Contents/Developer xcrun simctl list devices

set +x; echo -e "\n\n+++++++++++++++++++++ Xcode 15.0.0 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"; set -x
# The json output appears to "squash" the `com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-17-0` key:
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode-15.0.0.app/Contents/Developer xcrun simctl list devices -j

set +x; echo -e "\n\n+++++++++++++++++++++ Xcode 15.0.1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"; set -x
# If you use the newest Xcode, it appears to give the newer runtime precedent and will appear in the JSON output
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode-15.0.1.app/Contents/Developer xcrun simctl list devices -j

Without disambiguation between the 17.0.0 and 17.0.1 runtimes (both share a runtime ID of com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-17-0), both simctl create and the --json output when listing devices show bugs or inconsistencies.
