And yet somehow Apple is able to push updates without carrier approval and this doesn't happen.

People want to believe Apple is some magic company that can do no wrong, but that ignores the extensive amount of QA (both in house and at the telcos) that happens before any release like this (as a longish time OS X user, I should know.)
However, Apple was able to pull the update within hours and release a fix the next day.

Only iPhone6 only if you updated a point release in the first hour, not that it is good.
And also links the news articles where millions of Apple customers stormed shops after updates broke their phones.

Apple has been able to become powerful in phone market. They enough power to push the carriers around, rather than the other way round. Therefore everyone but Apple has to have their updates approved by the carrier before they get pushed out. My comment was not pro-Apple. Merely pointing out the hypocrisy in how carriers claim they have to spend months testing updates for everyone except Apple.
