Why old version of Split View and slide over is still not available I'm iPadOS 26? The most regrettable thing I've done is to upgrade from 18 to 26 with my iPad. We iPad user never want a laptop. We just want a finger control friendly device other than this buggy slow and inconvenient computer like iPad. We need ios18 features back asap. iPadOS 26 make me don't want to use iPad anymore.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 26
With the release of iPad OS 26.1, you have seen the return of Slide Over.
Multitasking is still finger control friendly.

I understand you may not like the "traffic light" UI element, but you are not speaking to Apple here where any feature request would be initiated. For that you would need to use the Feedback link.
Be careful when you suggest you are speaking for everyone with your own opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and given the same option for using Feedback. On the contrary, there are many posts here on the Support Site where users DO expect their iPads to be the equivalent of a laptop. Some have even purchased an iPad instead of replacing a laptop they had previously.

So you are defending with the reason that some people want a computer like iPad. What about people like me? I believe the majority are like me because iPad Pro is like 70% the price of a laptop. The new Split View is garbage to use and don’t even mention the limited one app slideover. Is it so hard for apple to add the old features to the full screen mode and do whatever you want in other mode that the minority cares?
Hello~ Your best course is to use the feedback link that *Mac Jim ID* so generously provided for you.

I don't have to defend any decision made by Apple. What you see is the choice they made and you were given the link to send them Feedback on what you would like to see.
We need Splitview and slide over back!!
