i can't understand how this is supposed to be one of the more advanced or recent devices available for Android and yet Samsung is only running 4.4.2, 2 versions behind the latest....why is this?

Because they have to incorporate TouchWiz into the new version of android along with all of the samsung apps. If you wanted fast updates you should have waited for the Play Edition. Then on top of that the carrier needs to test it and then it gets released. Hopefully a lot of these issues will be resolved once "L" officially releases.
