Apple patches iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, kitchen-sinkOS bugs said to be exploited in the wild Apple on Monday patched security flaws in its software said to have been exploited in the wild by miscreants to hijack gear.

Hey mousey, read the Title. It says "ANOTHER", now think about what that word means within context.

As for iPadOS, even the betas got updated - it's at 14.6 beta 2 right now.
I hope this Microsoft-compatible volume and frequency of updates abates soon, though, I have work to do :)
