It's not identical. The GI Bill is a benefit that's conferred on a servicemember FOR SERVICE TO THE NATION. That service includes the possibility that a servicemember will be killed during their service. That's the job. It's not taxed because it's a benefit they earned for selfless service to the nation.
A good buddy of mine is going to law school with his. He did 20 years of service as a Marine.
You want a benefit like that? EASY. Go do 20 years in the Marines. You can have all the tax-free tuition you want.

Again. This act was for the protection of servicemembers against loss of job or loss of home because of a deployment. It doesn't give them special tax treatment. It forestalls things like foreclosure or garnishment of wages because of deployment to a war zone. There is no special tax treatment for spouses. They pay tax. I paid tax. Just like everyone else in the USA.
You don't understand the arguments you're making.
