TTRPGs are literally unrestrained by anything except the rules on the page. GMs can do literally whatever they want, the only restraint being how the players react to it. If the GM wants to play multiple characters and the party enjoys that, they can do it. If they play nobody and the party enjoys that, they can do that.
Think outside the box of mechanics being the only way of interacting with the medium.
