Not having the split screen kb is the only thing stopping me getting a new iPad. Really annoying. All I can say is everyone here please go submit a feature request at https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html. I submit one every time a new iPadOS comes out w/o it. I'm probably too optimistic, but maybe if enough people raise their hands, it *might* come back...

I submitted a request today. got a new air 4th gen, but missing the split keyboard badly. not sure why they did not and will not include such a useful feature. Floating keyboard no where near the speed of the split keyboard for thumb typing.
