Out of 5 android devices I've owned only one received major version update (and it didn't work). So, anecdotally, one does. But I believe my case is more common than yours.

Just to be fair, are the 5 android devices non-nexus devices? If so, that's because of the carriers and that's why it's a common problem.

  They are. But only one of them was bought through a carrier (so it's "branded"). Others are "OEM", so could be updated by the manufacturer.

    Welp, that just sucks. I doubt the manufacturers have as much desire to update as carriers do.
