Numbers are messy, it's better to have a product represented by its name and have its generation just be a property.
That's why they make the extra effort of saying "third-generation" rather than iPad3. They don't want it to be referred to as an iPad3, just as an iPad.

I was surprised they called the second one iPad2.
