Why Status Bar simulated metric is missing in Xcode?

As stated in the title, and as visible from the linked image, I'm missing the status bar simulated metric drop down menu since Xcode 9.

This is true no matter the project, so I'm assuming it is not configuration dependent.

Is there a specific reason why this feature has been removed?

Status Bar option removed

In a view with a dark background, being unable to change the status bar simulated metrics causes the dark status bar text to be unreadable:

The status bar does not show in the view controller now on the storyboard so there is no need to include this as it won't affect your layout.

If you want to remove the status bar or change its style, you can do so using code or by change the project settings.
