Blame for this issue lies soley at the feet of Verizon, At&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.
In my case, the vendor is called Google -- I have a Galaxy Nexus. This phone is just two years old. No updates to 4.4, 4.3 is the last version supported.
Thus, I lay blame at the feet of the vendor -- Google.
PS: No need to tell me about CyanogenMod. I know about that. This is not about geeks being able to root their phone and replace the OS. This is about Google not doing proper support for a commercial product, a behavior that any other company in the IT business would be grilled about on virtual hot coals.
