I attribute the 2013's increased performance (and the 2012's ability to maintain it's level of performance) to ART vs Dalvik. If lollipop still relied on dalvik, the 2012 Nexus would be dog-meat for sure.

The generic answer is it hasn't been left in the dust because Google supports devices with security and OS updates for a set period. As you probably know though from the various forums, there were many complaints for certain updates and then some later improvements. However, other items could also affect performance such as how full your device is, which specific apps you have loaded, etc., etc.
