Most of the stuff a random bachelors degree will get you, office work.

lol...if you say so. Five minutes on Indeed.com shows that you can get a $24k per year office job with a GED, so maybe you need to set you sights a bit higher.

Maybe the statistics are wrong and you're right, but I doubt it

You can apply to some with a GED. Applying does not mean you'll get hired or that you'll be able to move past that entry level position.
