URLSession with URLRequest Timeout

I have the following lines of code to list some music titles from iTunes music. The code is 100% reproducible.

import SwiftUI

struct MusicView: View {
	@StateObject var viewModel = ViewModel()
	
	var body: some View {
		MusicListView(viewModel: viewModel)
	}
}

struct MusicListView: View {
	@ObservedObject var viewModel: ViewModel
	
	var body: some View {
		NavigationView {
			List(viewModel.results, id: \.self) { result in
				VStack(alignment: .leading) {
					Text("Track ID: \(result.trackId)")
					Text("Track name: \(result.trackName)")
				}
			}
			.task {
				do {
					try await viewModel.fetchMusic()
				} catch SessionError.badURL {
					print("Bad URL")
				} catch SessionError.invalidHTTPResponse {
					print("Invalid HTTP response")
				} catch SessionError.error(let err) {
					print("Error: \(err)")
				} catch {
					print("\(error.localizedDescription)")
				}
			}
			.navigationTitle("Music")
		}
	}
}

class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
	@Published var results: [Result] = []
	
	func fetchMusic() async throws {
		guard let url = URL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=classical+music&entity=song") else {
			throw SessionError.badURL
		}
		let urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url, timeoutInterval: 0.00) // <<<<<<<<<<<<<
		URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: urlRequest) { data, response, error in
			do {
				guard let data = data, error == nil else {
					throw SessionError.noData
				}
				guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse else {
					throw SessionError.invalidHTTPResponse
				}
				switch httpResponse.statusCode {
				case 200:
					let res = try JSONDecoder().decode(Response.self, from: data)
					DispatchQueue.main.async {
						self.results = res.results
					}
				case 400...499:
					throw SessionError.badURL
				default:
					fatalError()
					break
				}				
			} catch {
				print(error.localizedDescription)
			}
		}
		.resume()
	}
}

struct Response: Codable {
	let resultCount: Int
	let results: [Result]
}

struct Result: Codable, Hashable {
	var trackId: Int
	var trackName: String
	var collectionName: String
}

enum SessionError: Error {
	case badURL
	case noData
	case decoding
	case invalidHTTPResponse
	case badRequest(statusCode: Int)
	case redirection(statusCode: Int)
	case server(statusCode: Int)
	case error(String)
}

As you see in the screenshot, I get some music titles listed.

My question is why I get a list when in fact I have the URLRequest's timeout value set to 0.00? I haven't run it with an actual device. As far as I use an iPhone simulator, regardless of the timeout value that I set, I get data downloaded. I wonder why?
