Why don't more brands use stock Android?

Why does almost every single company feel the need to develop their own skin on top of Google's AOSP releases?

It's been clear for a few years now that phones with stock Android consistently get atleast 1 if not 2 years of updates while most phones with proprietary skins (Samsung's touch wiz, or one ui, MiUI, and others) are almost never updated.

So if it is indeed cheaper to just use stock Android in terms of updates etc, why are companies going out of their way to development their own skins at their own expense?
