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?

I believe part of it is due to how similar the Apple models are from one year to the next 5 years.
Samsung has a rather different feature set across the models (even in the early years). Not to mention, rather different hardware across the models (in the early years). With a different mentality on software updates in the past, and for long term manageability, I understood that they have different teams in charge of the updates for each phone model.
It’ll be a case of getting the apps/software working for the one with the best and latest set of technology, then selectively dumb down or restrict usability for each subsequent model.
Til they do a massive re-org, I doubt the distribution method can easily change.
