I have been using cyanogenmod and lineageOS, and the updates just worked. So I wasn't aware so many of the big names refused to ship updates.

Do any android handset manufacturers ship updates?

Most of them do, but usually only for a year or two after the release of a particular handset, and more for their flagship models than their more obscure ones. In most cases, those updates include a single major OS version jump, and maybe a year or two of security patches after that point.
