You get duplicates of these because (as you guessed) they are for different combinations of hardware and software.

These are used to symbolicate the system symbols in crash reports from your devices or customer devices in the field.

It is safe to delete the versions you are not supporting and will not get crash reports from the field.

There is usually an iOS DeviceSupport folder in the Xcode.app bundle and somewhere in the user's Library folder. When you connect a new device to your Mac, the symbol files from it are placed in the user's Library subfolders. (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/"iOS DeviceSupport").

You can always copy these folders to an external drive if you do not feel comfortable just deleting them.
