For iPad, the touchpad/mouse cursor represents the relative "touch" point of the screen.


While the cursor style cannot be changed to that of pointer, the cursor size and colour is configurable in iPad settings:

Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control





The screenshot above shows the pointer/cursor in its default colour - with the Pointer Size setting at its minimum.



Apple does invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see more control over the pointer style in a future version of iPadOS, this would be the most appropriate channel through which to direct your request:
