Turn Passcode Off is greyed out on my iPad

Our iPad lives in the kitchen for recipes and the passcode is just annoying. When I go to Face ID and Passcode, the option to turn it off is greyed out. Why would that be?

Greyed out almost always means something is forcing a passcode on. Look in Settings, General, VPN & Device Management - a profile from work or school will do it. A work email account set up in Mail can enforce it too. Remove those (if it's a managed iPad you may not be allowed to) and the option comes back. No profile? Check Screen Time, Content & Privacy, Passcode Changes - if that's set to don't allow, it greys out the same way.
