To be fair, that blog post is 2 years old and things have gotten a fair bit better in the intervening time. It is true, though, that when I had a phone purchased through a carrier (T-Mobile) it lagged the official release of Android by several months. I'd eventually get it, but it was a reliable time lag. The combination of handset-specific mods (TouchWiz UI on my Samsung) with carrier-specific junk and support definitely was a bottleneck. That is one of the many reasons I opted to buy a Nexus 5 direct from Google with stock Android for my last phone purchase.
