But then again, I guess Marvel introduced a "multi-verse" concept of explaining all the different comic titles/runs of the same character the way DC used the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" to explain theirs.

Not exactly, but sort of. Marvel's had the multiverse concept for a long time now, but the Joe stuff sort of predates that (It was kind of a retcon when Marvel introduced the whole "616" concept...alternate realities had certainly long been a thing, but there wasn't any official structure to it all until then).
But basically it boils down to this: The Spider-Man in Transformers was not the normal Spider-Man of the Marvel Universe...he was the Spider-Man of the Transformers universe. The JJJ that appears in GI Joe was the same way. The "GI Joe" that appears in Spider-Man wasn't really GI Joe...just had a guy that really looked a lot like Duke). And the "Stark Industries" would fall into the same category. There might be a Stark Industries but it's not run by Tony Stark, or it IS but that Tony Stark isn't Iron Man (Maybe in the Joe verse Stalker, Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow rescued him in Vietnam before he became Iron Man!). Yes, it's confusing, but it's clear Marvel wanted to (poorly) make it known that GI Joe was not part of the Marvel Universe. Possibly because it being so would bring up some of the same story/logic problems we've discussed in this very thread!
(Also the Stark Industries thing makes not even a little bit of sense given Metal Head was an Iron Grenadier...who works for a major weapons manufacturer...but I digress)
