Key to accessing and controlling (or simply avoiding) multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of the screen. Unlike iPadOS14 and earlier versions, multi-tasking (including split-screen, slide-over views and the Shelf) cannot be disabled from settings.


More information about using multi-tasking can be found in this support page:

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of information about using iPad and its many features. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:

Apple does invite submission of comments and feature requests via it Product Feedback portal. For iPad and iPadOS:

Feedback - iPad - Apple


If you would like to see an ability to disable multitasking features in future version of iPadOS, this would be the most appropriate channel through which to make a request.
