>Perhaps before blaming Samsung it might be worth noting what an awful mess the update process is/was that implied actions from the carriers and exactly how many of them could be bothered?

Motorola phone running Android 2.x and never got an update, which model ?

I had a Sony Xperia, one of the first models - cannot remember exact model - shipped with outdated Android from day 1 (Android version over 12 months old), never got an update. The Xperia M I have has had updates, but still on 4.3, iirc. With 2Gb internal storage, not sure what I could put on it, though.

None of these phones were from a carrier ... because, carriers suck just as much as HP, Lenovo, Dell & co ... crapware pre-installed. And, you have to wait for updates to be released from google, to be adapted by phone maker, to be adapted by carrier ... if you are into Android, get a Nexus or Blackberry. I still do not understand why Moto failed when under Google's helm ... but then again, I did not quite follow their models back then ...
