Why does the sprint LG Optimus G have no Google Wallet support.... I see it has NFC but no Gwallet? Does anyone know what's up?

Hey guys, first post here. I believe Wallet is carrier dependent if they want it on the phone or not.
I know Sprint & Verizon, there may be others, are doing their own version of a wallet type setup so they naturally want you to use theirs.
Don't take this as scripture, but I'm pretty sure that's correct.
Just saying it's a carrier dependency is a bit off. If that were the case a nexus 4 on att wouldn't be able to use Google Wallet. Carriers do block Wallet from their devices but I can bet it's also a device dependency also. That's why every us sgs3 can run wallet if they change the product names to that of the sprint model. Just like sprint supports Waller but the og doesn't have it just like the note 2 didn't until a later update came out and unlocked it. Their has to be a certification procedure for each device to use it.
