6th Gen iPad Pro 12.9" Dynamic Volume

I really can't stand that the volume buttons change when you have different orientations my 5th Gen didn't do this! It says to go to settings>sounds>then turn on fixed position volume control and my brand new 6th gen iPad Pro I just got today does not have that anywhere. So what gives? Nice counterintuitive move Apple so goofy why can't you just keep some stuff simple already!
