A sufficiently advanced simulation on any substrate would have this property - the simulated qualia would feed back on the simulated world.

Correct, but both still are just simulated. The qualia that are actually occurring are those associated with the simulator substrate, not those associated with the simulated world, and in the context of the simulated world, they would not make sense.
