Samsung phones use to have older Android versions, and sometimes they
don't update the phone to the next version after being sold. And that
update comes several months later, because they have to add again their
customization layer. And in the case of Samsung, it is big.

 
   As you said, that *used* to be the case, but is no longer the case for
many years, at least 4+ years, but probably longer. My 4+ year old
Samsung Galaxy A51 lower-range phone came with Android 10 and was
updated to 11, 12 and finally 13.

 
Isn't the reason for that improving due to introduction of Project
Treble which allows the manufacturers to "slide in" newer versions of
the lower layers of Android?

  Yes, while I do no longer get Android version updates (i.e. not 14 and
15) from Samsung, I still get 'Google Play system update's from Google,
which are what came/comes out of Project Treble and - as you mention -
slides in newer versions of the lower layers of Android.
