Samsung improved it's update process (and probably pipeline?) dramatically in the past years[1] and the software became much better and more polished.

I received the Android 13 update in November and less than two weeks later another security update. This indicates to me that they roll out updates as fast as possible. Normally I get the monthly security update in the first half of the month.

EDIT: I should probably mention that I usually only buy Samsung's flagships but the midrange device are getting the same treatment AFAIK.

I really don't have that kind of money to just drop on a phone that will inevitably fall from my pocket and break because it's too damn big. My phones cost less than 200€, and since they aren't samsung they get timely updates.
