   At first I thought that perhaps that the iPad lacks the necessary   
   hardware to measure the battery impedance. Then I saw that there's a   
   jailbreak tweak for the iPad that adds Battery Health. I suppose that   
   it's possible that that tweak doesn't include measuring the impedance of   
   the battery and only looks at factors like the number of   
   charge/discharge cycles and the time since the device was first used.   
      
   There could also be factors related to sales and marketing   
   considerations. If the owner was aware that the reason for performance   
   and runtime could be the battery then they might be more likely to opt   
   for battery replacement than buying a new iPad.
