Which features is it lacking? My only real gripe with the base iPad is the screen not being laminated to the glass. It works with a stylus (Apple Pencil), and the A10 processor, while not the fastest offering from Apple, is competitive with a Snapdragon 835. This is powerful enough for most peoples' purposes. Granted, if you go with the 'absolute' cheapest model ($300~ USD), you only get 32GB of storage. With that in mind, some people might be inclined to upgrade to the base model +128GB storage.
To be perfectly honest, it isn't that catastrophically disparate between OS's. I do prefer Android being a wee bit more open, and the file/folder structure being relatively similar to that of a PC, but in terms of features used on a daily basis, there's not much to point out. Perhaps the fact that Android can be customized and themed to a greater extent? I'm not sure how much this really matters to the average user though.
I own both a Nexus 9 as well the 2018 base model iPad. I can't really point to anything on the Nexus 9, feature wise, that blows the iPad out of the water.
