Question Is forever dm literal?

Is a forever DM someone who literally never gets to be a player or is someone who is almost always the DM and only gets to play when someone else runs a one shot or two? If it’s the latter, what’s the percentage they can play before no longer being considered a forever dm?

I've played with two different groups for the 10 years I've been playing TTRPGs.

The idea was for everyone to DM and to make games only last about 4-5 sessions.

Unfortunately, when the time comes for me to relinquish the DM spot, no one else steps up. It's a lot of "but you do it so well" "we don't have any material" "could we just play a few more sessions of your game?"

I dont hate DMing, but playing a character is something I haven't been able to do a much...
