Don't see any pizzing going on. RAM put their claims out there a few years ago and ARE SAE rated. Ford finally came to the table in 2017 with their 350's and are similarly SAE rated.
At 23K I would be on the edge with a GM. When I hook my MotorCycle trailer with two Cruisers to the back of my 5er I will be well over GM's rating.
Like I have said if GM could pass the SAE test at the higher ratings I am sure they would.
I have no doubts GM could pass with a higher rating, but just because you can pass with a higher rating doesn't mean you have to post that rating for your truck. The SAE J2807 never states that you can't rate your truck lower than the weight that truck is J2807 certified at. You just can't rate it higher and be J2807 certified. I will try to find the video I have seen where a GM rep clearly states that their HD passed the J2807 with much higher ratings, but they don't feel that only being able to do 30 mph is towing. When I find it I will post it.
Ford and Ram could do the same, but they are in this proverbial pissing match to claim the useless "best in class" title.
