Is it not true Google pushes updates to their Nexus line without going through the carrier?

The Google support pages say "Based on your carrier, it may take longer than two weeks after release to get an update." See the section marked Timing For Android Software Updates and click on Nexus devices.

For a time at least not for Nexus phones sold on Verizon.

But why should I have to buy a Nexus phone just to receive OS updates and not get crapware?
