Why Shouldn't iPad Have Battery Health and Cycle Control?
The 2024 models of iPad Pro M4, iPad Air M2 and the iPadOS mini (A17 Pro) all feature Battery Health features. While purely speculative, you might reasonably anticipate that future new models might also include these features and other new features.
Older models of iPad, released prior to 2024, do not have the native Battery Health features.
Features introduced within newer versions of iOS/iPadOS are perhaps unlikely to be released for a variety of reasons -including technical and marketing. There are many instances of features being device specific - or sometimes have dependencies upon hardware that is not incorporated within earlier devices.
For older models of iPad that don't have the battery health feature, there are software packages available that can access battery cycle count. Popular choices for Mac are Coconut Battery and iMazing - whereas iMazing is available for PC.

The are also third-party shortcut scripts available that can semi-automate analysis of your iPad's analytics files - and provide a calculated estimate based upon the charge-cycle count. If this method is of interest, try using a Google search for "iPad battery health shortcut".
Warning: Be aware that running third-party shortcuts, downloaded from external sources, carry risk - in that they may not work, may be malicious, or may export private/sensitive data from your device. Use shortcuts entirely at your own risk; if anything goes wrong, you're on your own.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your iPad battery holding charge, you might be best advised to have your iPad tested. If you directly contact Apple Support - and explain your problem - you can request a remote battery diagnostic. The tests will confirm the status of your battery - and other elements of your iPad’s health.
Alternatively, a visit to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store would provide opportunity for your iPad to be similarly tested by the Apple technicians - after which you can explore your available options.
