For the WebView, I’m quite sure Google Play Services can update the component regardless of what the OEM pushes out.
So in that case, the system version right after a factory reset would be outdated, but as long as you’re using your phone and connected to the internet, it should be updated.
I’m sure it can. The question is, will it. Part of the reason Google started updating apps on their side and removing feature updates from Android was because carriers and service providers weren’t quick to update anything including security updates. It’s one of the big selling points of the pixel line of phones. RCS is a very good example. The main cell providers did not want to take on RCS messaging and went as far as trying to make their own fork. They’ve done this with wallet apps back in the day as well.
