Why is Home button missing in retina display iphone simulator

The latest iOS on which I worked was ios 4.3. However continuing with iOS development now, on switching to iOS 6 I found a lot of different features. One interesting and confusing feature is the new look of iphone simulator. It has a new shape and does not have home button. I was looking at this link and learnt that this was true for devices after iPhone 4 including it.
My question is, why is home button absent for new iphone simulators not considering that former would appear after scaling the latter.

It also depends on your screen resolution. On my MBP Retina it displays the frame for all the device, on my external monitor (1600 x 1200) it fails to show the frame for all the Retina simulated devices.
