Companies like EE, O2, Vodafone, ThreeUK etc have extra software features and network optimisation. So these won't be eligible
Generally going through places like Carfone Warehouse do unlocked phones

Could I be seeing a lack of optimisation because my phone isn't locked to a provider, or am i just suffering from confirmation bias! Cheers.

In short, to enable access to services.
On a basic level, this involves making sure that things like picture messaging, voicemail and internet connections are set up correctly.
On a more advanced level, this is more extensive such as the preloading of app services, but this varies from phone to phone.
I get what you mean about connectivity on SIM only. This is what I do as well.
It can be frustrating on the odd occasion not to get the connection you need.
How much better it is putting that software in, I'm not sure really
But I'm happy not to have the carrier bloat wear, and going fully unlocked

Agree that it's nice not to have the carrrier bloatware.
