Apple updates seem to rollout much faster, with fewer impediments from carriers. Why can’t this be the case with Samsung phones after Samsung has tested the update? Why the extra barrier for Android phones?

In my opinion its less related to carriers and more related to hardware and software they have to optimize. In India we don’t have carriers, but still the rollout is delayed and it’s a worldwide thing. Apple has the advantage of
Androids usually get their processors from third party manufacturers which takes a little extra time to optimize and they have to do it separately for each processor and device model. Plus you have different screen sizes and types for each of your models (S23, 23+ and 23 ultra have different display size plus they have the older models too with different hardware).
Apple only has to deal with 2 or maybe 3 screen sizes if you take models from last 2-3 years coz the display from iphone 14 pros is the same one being used in the 15s and 15 pros coz their phones usually don’t change much in terms of hardware until you see them 3-4 years apart (they used a 12MP camera for the a long time before upgrading to a 48MP recently).
Long story short, I think that samsung or other android manufacturers have way too many variables to optimize their software with which takes time so they prefer to take it slowly
