Spouses can get their own visa and work.

Spouses were not able to work since the invention of H1B decades ago.

That rule changed only in 2014 and Trump hasn't cancelled it yet despite talking about doing so for almost two years. If he doesn't do it in the next year, chances are spouses will still be able to work without an extra visa.

You seem to be misinformed, The H1B is not for everyone, if your spouse doesn't fit the description it's game over. I know many people here on a H1B who have moved with their spouse who hasn't been able to work for years. It really takes a toll on you.
