Volume buttons on iPad Air 5th Gen inconsistent

The latest iOS 15.7 seems to have removed the option to enable/disable volume button controls operating based on the orientation of the device. I would prefer to have consistency in how these buttons operate. Any advice?

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Dynamic volume controls were introduced with release of iPadOS 15.4 onwards. For reasons known only to Apple, the ability to either enable or disable this feature is not available for the iPad Air5 and iPad mini6.
