Hum. No, some manufacturers don't "fill". They add less customization, 
like Motorola (Lenovo group). This way updates come faster.

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.

This is not absolutely bad, some people do like those additions. I do 
like them, just not the delay they mean.

No, google phones come directly without a customization layer.

Yes, some companies sell their laptops with a lot of customization. Say 
HP. This is not bad per se. The recovery feature is good. But the layer 
can include apps that slow the laptop while promoting their business 
interests.
