Manufacturers barely want to support their devices once they are out the door. It is a shame. Carriers are a stumbling block, but not the major one here. Even tablet devices barely get updates. Google needs to tighten this up. As people get more savvy and upgrade cycles lengthen as devices get more powerful (just as has happned in PCs) then they will not stand for it much longer. The OS needs to be separated from the low level drivers so at least security and performance updates can be applied independently.
