I'm a US Permanent Resident who immigrated with DV2 visa. My wife is DV1.
My wife and I are filling out a N-400 online application to naturalize since we've been living here for more than 5 years.

My online form is asking to provide marriage certificate as an evidence. My wife's form isn't asking for marriage certificate.

Why is it different?

Because you derived the immigration benefit (which is allowing you to naturalize) from her.

Similar situation here (H-1B and H-4, wife has to provide marriage certificate).

Does this mean the spouse deriving the immigration benefit (PathOfLight and my wife) should bring evidence of marriage to the naturalization interview, even though it's not asked?

Actually I wasn't correct. My wife also had to upload our marriage certificate.
