Why is it not a code violation to use anything other than a GE breaker in a so-labeled GE panel? Taking that argument a step further, is it not true that all any manufacturer has to do is label their panel with "use only our breakers/components" and use of any alternate brand breaker/component becomes a code violation?

It's like GM saying use only genuine GM parts. If a breaker is listed for use in another mfg.'s panel it was deemed to be compatible by a recognized authority.
