Where did the .com feature go in iPadOS 26.2?

For Safari and Firefox browser Apps, are you certain that you are seeing the domain extensions when holding the "." key - and not, as more likely, the key to the immediate right of the space bar - which does expose additional domain extensions:

By example - this screenshot taken from my own iPad Pro 12.9" M1 with iPadOS 26.2 installed:

Dependent upon your iPad model and device settings, the positioning of the domain key relative to the "." key will differ slightly.

I did not detect your intended sarcasm as you describe - and answered on the basis of a sincere question being asked. I surmise that you refer to the ⌘ shortcuts as seen when you reveal the top Menu Bar with a downward-swipe from the top-centre edge of the iPad screen:

If you choose to do so, the Top Menu Bar (intended for use when an external keyboard is being used with iPad can be disabled (i.e. hidden from unnecessary view) from iPad settings:

Settings > Multitasking & Gestures > [Gestures] Swipe to Reveal Top Menu Bar - set to OFF

I don't recall observing a held "." key offering the .com or .net domain extension directly from the on-screen keyboard. However, these extensions may be offered in specific contexts from the Shortcuts (a.k.a. Predictive Text bar) that is seen above the keys of the on-screen keyboard:

Settings > General > Keyboards > Predictive Text - select ON or OFF as required

The on-screen keyboard does not have a "Command" key. The "Command" key is applicable only to an external physical keyboard (marked as ⌘ or CMD).

Solved... I found that if I only use full screen (which I prefer), then the top pull down menu is turned off by default.

Indeed. If you have selected Full-Screen Apps in preference to Windowed Apps within the Multitasking & Gestures settings, you won't see (or be able to access) the Top Menu Bar or associated menus with ⌘ shortcuts.

If you enable Windowed Apps, you can still use Apps in full-screen mode - and won't lose additional iPadOS functionality that is only available in Windowed Apps mode.

I'm not worried about Notes or anything else. Just typing a URL into a browser, like I've done every day for years with my ipad. After getting 26.2 last night, the feature has gone away.

I was using Notes as an example.

Can you show me an image with 26.2, entering a URL and holding down the . key to get the domain shortcut please.

I can corroborate that it doesn't work in the URL bar in Safari. I admit that I've never used it that way before. I only ever use it for email addresses.

An internet search indicates that other people have reported the same issue, though I have no idea of how ubiquitous it is.

I suggest that you send feedback to Apple:

Product Feedback - Apple

It will only give you that option if you're in a field that supports it. If you're just typing in, say Notes, you won't see it. And not all webpages that seem like they should support it do.
