Why does iPad Pro Gen4 does not allow portrait mode on the back camera?

I understand that the iPad Pro Gen3 doesn't have duo camera. so it doesn't support portrait mode. Why won't Gen4 support it?

“Portrait Mode” is principally an iPhone feature that uses a combination of camera lenses - and software processing - to combine images to produce a bokeh effect.


This feature requires specific lens and CPU hardware for processing the image data - which is not available on earlier versions of iPhone and iPad.
