6 Years for OLED on iPad whoa ! That is a hyperbole ! I would imagine around 3 years !
Your comment definitely hasn't aged well sir?... Apple will be stuck with Mini-Led for a while, this summer they'll announce the new iPad Pros (both Mini-Led) and you probably won't see an OLED screen before 2024 (~6 years from your comment sir, definitely not a hyperbole?).

Some runmors have said the 12.9 will stay Mini-LED, but not the 11.

Pretty sure the idea that the iPad Pro 11” will stay on edge lit LCD came from Apple. They explained that the 11” didn’t get miniLED because it would have added thickness and weight. The implication—though not stated—was that wasn’t likely to change soon.

It came from this YouTube video.

What we know about the 11-inch user is that they just love bringing a super-powerful iPad with them in a portable one-pound design... they just love the form factor of that. Whereas the user who is embracing the 12.9-inch display, they were looking for the largest canvas to do their most creative work on that product, and that made sense to bring that XDR technology to the 12-inch display for the iPad Pro.
