Fragmentation is really about software upgrade. A SE phone with 1.6 loaded from factory has difficulties getting on 2.x because the UI is heavily modified. SE has to come up with entirely new code for the same UI taking 2.x android's advantages. If you forgo the custom UI completely, upgrade become easy. (ala Nexus one/s)

I've read articles on how fragmentation won't be a concern in the near future. But it still hasn't been solved completely. I'm also speaking from my experience of switching over to the SGS and not getting froyo for a long time (while other phones had it). Froyo custom roms weren't out until months after I got the phone and I had been keeping up with xda.
But yeah just speaking from experience. The whole android world is more complicated for sure. Complicated isn't necessarily a terrible thing though and I switched over to an android phone because the pros for me outweighed the cons.
