Apple is attempting to escape the obligations of the Digital Markets Act for iPad.

• It is critical that iPadOS be designated a gatekeeper. Allowing Apple to ignore all of the DMA obligations for such a significant segment of its ecosystem, will allow Apple great power to not only increase lock-in, reduce interoperability and hobble competition on iPad but also to curtail the effectiveness of the DMA with regards to Apple’s obligations on iPhone. - Open Web Advocacy
