This is why I believe GVWR is mostly marketing driven, very loosely based on real engineering specs.
Given the same rear GAWR, why would a longer frame have greater GVWR? If anything, the longer frame is weaker (highly doubt cross section is changed). Why can't a short box carry the same GVWR?
My guess is marketing doesn't want you to believe a long bed is less capable, so jacked up the GVWR to compensate for higher curb weight.
