That’s because they didn’t make an iPad app and so it was just the iOS app on a large screen. Lots of app used to be like this until they made iPadOS versions.

Is there actually an OS called iPadOS? I thought it was just iOS?

There is. I think they used to run on iOS, hence the upscaling of the apps to the larger screen.

Wiki iPadOS 17

Edit: iPadOS Wiki adding this if you’re curious about the why and when they diverged.
