Google abeg go and rest.
Some of us are still in Google Jellybean, because phones don't upgrade to higher version.

Why on earth must upgrades be sent from hardware manufacturers instead of via the OS?

Concentrate on perfecting the Nexus hardware, make it affordable, then send out update to devices via OS.

Anytime new OS version comes out, Samsung and co will release new phones with a little +1 bump-up on camera mega pixel. Same old shit with new price cux it now has a new OS version.

Good idea but it's not as easy as you think. Android is open source, meaning OEMs can add their own skin/designs and features to deir phones, something they always do to differentiate their user experience from other brands.
When dey do that it's impossible for Google to send updates to d phones because it won't be compatible. So it's d responsibility of d OEM to now make a compatible version of d new update. This can be time consuming so most will just move it to deir next phone instead, unless maybe it's a flagship phone.
Also, Google stopped making Nexus devices for like 3 generations now, they now make Pixels, and the experience is lit, save for some bugs tho(just like every oda phone).
If you want direct OS updates from Google on OEM devices, you can get an Android One device, where d OS is pure un-aldultered Android. Companies like Xiaomi and co offer such devices.
Regardless, lots of companies update their phones quite regularly irrespective of price, e.g Nokia.
