i would agree with you if they are actually stationary. but you can normally run and gun in this game so i find most MG just stupid.
also most of the MG in the game are not GPMG, but LMG.

Not even the more accurate term is MMG(too heavy to carry around quick but light enough for a bipod mount and sometimes being heavy barreled and are almost always belt fed) things like the Bren and BAR are LMGs (traditionally being mag fed and having light barrels and are very mobile).

The later GPMGs combined the 2 in to one type so things like MG4 and M240B can be called LMGs but its also not inaccurate to call them MMGs.
The mg34 and mg42 are light enough to be carried by a regular soldier. The browning A6 on the other hand can be carried and fired from the hip. But it was and still is too heavy to fire and move from the shoulder.
The BAR was the stop gap between the Thompson and the 1919A6.
The MG34/42 needs to have a 100 round belt at minimum. The guns with a 200 round belt would be too heavy and may not be fired from the shoulder which would be fine but if they had a 100 round belt and couldn’t be shot or aimed why crouched wouldn’t be right.
LMG and MMG yes.
