All I can say is different strokes for different folks. I like iPadOS 13 just fine. It's just part of the part of the ongoing effort to make various iDevices more inter connected. I suspect a large part of the issue is that it doesn't work the way you think it should work and there is no way to make it work the way you want it to work, an issue that is embedded in the whole Apple philosophy over the last 20 years. Jerry Pournelle use to say with Apple everything was either very easy or impossible.

There are certainly aspects of iOS that I wish worked differently, in particular, I think the sync between the Mac and the iPad/iPhone has taken a big step backward, but I think that most people don't have the volume of audiobooks from outside the Apple store to sync up that I do.
