The issue is valid also for Android mobile devices when in Desktop mode. iPad users start experiencing it more often because since iOS 13 the Desktop mode is the default one for iPad. Before this version, the Mobile mode was the default one.

As a workaround in most cases kendo.support.mobileOS could be replaced by kendo.support.touch

The fix for this issue #5552 fixes kendo.support.mobileOS to return object, instead of false for Safari on iPad with iOS 14. The Android issue mentioned in comments is will not be addressed at this time. Feel free to log it as a separate issue, if there are reports for this scenario.
