Perhaps you have set ScreenTime restrictions.

If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you are unable to add or remove on your iPad, you’ll need to check your ScreenTime restrictions:

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Adding Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps - ensure that this permission is set to Allow
