I wonder how much of that is because Apple doesn't compete in the sub-$400 market. I was surprised that my parents had a $100 Motorola Android that provided updates for something like 4 years, but yeah, some of the manufacturer's just give up on even supporting their flagship devices (I see you, LG G4).

That's a huge part of it. But it's like the PC thing all over where anyone can license and produce any kind of android device.
