Testing 3D touch with iOS Simulator

Questions:

I was wondering if anyone has tried 3D touch feature on a simulator or rather anyone know whether it actually works there or not.

I know it's a hardware based feature and support is there only for latest iPhone 6S & iPhone 6S Plus models.

On an iPhone 6S simulator, I have tried with Hardware --> Force Touch Pressure --> Deep Press but no gain.

Why did iPhone stop 3D Touch?

Why did Apple get rid of 3D Touch? ‌3D Touch‌ was never available on the iPad, so Apple may have nixed it to make sure the ‌iPhone‌ and the ‌iPad‌ offer a similar experience. With Haptic Touch and a long press on the ‌iPad‌, the gestures used to get to additional contextual information like Quick Actions are the same.

Was 3D Touch removed?

Not everyone used it, but 3D Touch brought the iPhone a whole new level of fast interactivity — and now we've lost it. Instead, the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max all used the cheaper alternative that Apple introduced with the iPhone XR.
