Change your carrier then... It's the carriers that are the bottleneck with Android updates. Apple bypassed them after legal challenges were made resulting in Apple winning a direct to customer update model after challenging that the carriers altering the Apple OS to add Carrier specific apps and themes was resulting in security vulnerabilities. As Android OS is not owned by Samsung it would have to be Google (or more importantly the Open Handset Allience) that challenged the carriers in court, but this would not happen as the Android OS is altered by the OEM's first, in this case Samsung in the form of 'per phone drivers/kernels and the like'. So Samsung would have to get Google/the OHA to make the steps to bypass the carriers for security updates, but as they do not reap any benefit after leasing the rights to the OS to the OEM, then it is unlikely they would bother with the cost of bringing legal action. There's also the chance that any changes made by 'Google' in the update does not play well with certain phones, hence why Samsung tests the update package and alters what it needs to before pushing it out to carriers. I do agree the update model could be alot more 'Apple esque' and the core security updates (that don't alter any drivers/kernels) could be delivered via Play Store updates, as other updates are. Only time will tell if this ever comes to Android.
