Why are there no software updates for Samsung ATIV SE

There have been OS updates (WP 8.0 to WP 8.1) on other phones (Nokia, HTC) , but not on the Samsung Windows Phone. Does ANYONE know why?

It's most likely a carrier issue. Also, there's an official workaround called Developer's preview in which you get the software updates early
