You missed the point, which is that you learn how to use the 3 exposure controls: shutter speed, aperture, iso; and then it doesn't matter if you can change iso on the fly on digital or by changing a roll of film - you know how to take pictures and that's it. We're talking education.
The worst a newbie can do is to focus on learning 'camera modes' instead of learning how photography works - that's why all those "P", auto-iso, etc would be pointless when you want to learn (and that's what this simulator is for).
