That old Apple BS that shiny and new makes up for buggy just doesn’t work any more.

For the most part, I rarely defend Apple programmers. I do, on the other hand, understand how the process of generating and testing code works. Beta code is called beta for a reason. It's going to have bugs. The point of beta testing is to find and remove bugs. Major issues with release software? That's a big problem.
As far as the current iPadOS software, all I can say is that I've had no problems with it and have been using it rather extensively since it was released. Other people might be having problems, but for the most part I haven't heard of any major issues.
If your point is that Apple should permit users to roll back to the previous version for a longer period of time, then I absolutely agree with you. I think you should always be able to roll back to the previous version.
Poking around a bit, I suspect maybe you misunderstand what they are saying when it's reported that they have stopped signing iPadOS 13.x. You can still downgrade to pre iPadOS 13, you just can't go from iPadOS 13.2 back to iPadOS 13.0.
