They boot reasonably quickly, just turn it off.
While on they are constantly listening for a “find my” signal so it’s easy to locate. For the overwhelming majority of people it’s a good tradeoff.

Not a solution. Something like “shutdown after n hours of inactivity” would fix it though.
Or a power button that actually removes power from the device rather than just turning the display off. The "actually shutdown long press + UI" process has --just-- enough friction to make me forget to do it or not bother with it.
Oh man I want to vent about the Nintendo switch.

This plus if you plug it in after to charge it it turns back on

I think in theory general case I’d rather be able to find it easily than have more charge when it’s located. You can generally use one while plugged in.
Anyway, the root of their issue is other people unplugging it, which is a bigger issue than just the iPad. Still if you turn it off before pugging it in the iPad would have ~full charge if someone unplugged it. They hold charge for months on store shelves.
every e reader I have owned does this.

Latest iPhones have Find My when they are turned off, do iPads?
