Default Why is "Google Voice" only available for the iPhone & not for theiPad?

In replacing Talkatone functionality (which died on May 15th) on my iPad,
I resorted to the dual solution of Google Hangouts (for unlimited USA calls
to and from the iPad) and Google Voice (for unlimited USA SMS text to and
from the iPad).

I am telling my friends, over the phone, how to replace their talkatone
freeware functionality, but none of them could *find* the Google Voice
app for the free SMS texting.

Belatedly, I realized that Google Voice is *only* found in the "iPhone"
section of the App Store. Yet, Google Voice seems to work fine on my iPad
and on my friend's iPads, once we figured out where to find it.

My question?
Q: Why would the App Store not show Google Voice in the iPad section?
