    I figured out that this issue is connected to the Live Conversion Settings.

    The Companion Objects can be made visible in Scene mode by setting Live Conversion to "Runtime State in Scene View".
    So these scene view modes work correctly, but only for companion game objects not entities.

    It is also confusing that the default mode is to show the Authoring state in scene view as this is a big change to the existing user experience.
