In the US carriers do affect the update process for carrier locked phones. I'm sure there are other places where similar practices take place.

huh, I've never seen something like that in the EU, except on early Samsung and HTC smartphones. These days you get completely standard Android even when buying on contract

I have. One of my previous phones was Vodaphone-unlocked so I could use it with my carrier BUT it displayed the vodaphone logo on boot/shutdown
