Conquering Russia should be done steppe by steppe.

In civilized countries, the carrier doesn't get to decide updates you get. The manufacturer does.

If it were really civilized, the user would determine what updates they get, not the manufacturer or carrier. The manufacturer would be responsible for manufacturing hardware to a standard that could be supported by others. The carrier would be responsible for maintaining network infrastructure and compatibility with various standards and protocols. Perhaps the manufacturer and/or carrier should provide recommendations and sane defaults that should satisfy most users with minimal effort, but the user should be free to run the software of their choice.
