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?

The carriers want a say in the software that goes on the phones.
In exchange for that, the carriers will buy fucktons of phones and promote the hell out of them on their web stores, retail stores and to business accounts.
Big discounts etc.
Samsung likes to sell large numbers of phones. Carrier partnerships are a way to do that.
