Since when do RPGs have DMs?
Edit: Come on, y'all don't play dumb. We all know that there is a difference between an RPG and D&D.
Since like, the 70s
The RP stands for role playing, like actual role playing. This was the term for tabletops long before things like Final Fantasy existed.

This is tabletop RPGs, which, yes, do have DMs
When the game is D&D?
Gives new meaning to "sliding in to your DMs"
Amateurs bribe with snacks.
Professionals bribe with favors.
Since every single ttrpg out there is hell bent on giving the “MC” a completely different name in each and every one of them, we'll just grab the most popular term and roll with it.
Also, this ttrpg concerns Tiamat, that one calls it a DM
