The worst thing is there that title should be: "Linux Distro Inspired by the iOS".

iPad is a device, not OS.

iPad-flavored iOS is different than iPhone-flavored iOS.

Even Apple calls it iPadOS: https://www.apple.com/ipados/ipados-14/

Their title seems accurate.

iPad (device) != iPadOS (OS)

Ok, yes, what’s your point?

iPad != iPadOS != iOS which was your original modification to the title.

My point is, it’s iPad specific. So iPad/iPadOS is fine here, and not iOS.

And iOS != IOS (Cisco).

Thanks for your clarification. I wasn't able to make head or tail of the title without reading your comment.

This seems needlessly pedantic since even Apple uses the term iPadOS.
