I have done that with some of R2D2 beeps.

In ALL CAPS, so he's constantly shouting.
"This is a rough case, Mac," I said.
"F**K," Mac agreed.

Does anyone think that Mac's lack of conversation is a choice or an obligation?

I'd go with choice. In my mind he is observing events, not influencing them. Which makes his soliloquy to Harry in Changes all the more important.

Doesn't Harry say Mac looks tired or uncomfortable after saying a bunch of words all at once? It might cost him something to speak; not quite an obligation or choice, exactly, but a limitation, if that makes sense. Though it's just as likely that Harry was being snarky.
Regardless, it's an interesting question. What characters or figures in myth and legend have speech limitations? Relatedly, which are notoriously difficult to amuse? I'm rereading Cold Days, and Vaderrung was very pleased with himself when he got Mac to laugh, like it was a particular challenge.
