This is exactly the problem. The app store being the only distribution method for iPad OS means that Apple controls everything that is possible on iPad OS.
The problem is iPadOS drastically fails at simple tasks all the time - I wanted to print a shipping label the other day that I got in an email - sounds simple? Not on iPad! Tap print, see the AirPrint printer, tap print, and I get a 100% fill UPS label. I could download an app like Pages, drop in the image, setup the formatting then print. But it was literally easier to just open my mac, change one option and press print.
It looks like iOS 15 finally adds print options, but how could this have taken 15 years to have printer options…
I really love using my iPad for whatever I can. But the random missing features and “iPad simplicity” frustrations are incredibly annoying.
