in your case, it discharged to the point where it's too low to power on
the device.
For once you are right, which I appreciate since I had assumed it was the iPhone but in the end, it charged when I switched things from what the grandkids were using (it had been sitting in their bedroom since they left).
I was dead wrong to wrongly assume it was the poor design of the iPad.
Here's a screenshot after replacing the cable & waiting about an hour or so.

In reality, since the iPad was merely an extra that only the grandkids used
to play games, I had plugged it into a charger & cable that they were using.
And then I left it in their now empty bedroom, to charge.
When I recently checked on that iPad on the charger, it was _still_ dead.
But it turns out the ten foot lightning cable they were using is bad.
Mea culpa.
My fault.
I apologize for impugning the honor of the iPhone when, in this case, it
wasn't the iPhone but the fact I didn't bother to check the charging cable.
Now I have to figure out why it insists on a password when I have _never_
used anything but a one-time login/password the first time I set up an iPad (because it insists on you having an account which for me is throwaway).
