I think it's a real lack of imagination to think the only reason he could be covering for a twin is for the purpose of a "lazy gotcha twist". From the earliest time we've seen Blackbeard he's had a particular ambition and a particular way of pursuing it. He's been after the Darkness fruit since before the earliest moment we've seen him. There's gotta be a reason for that. "It just suits me" would be a much less interesting development than him having some sort of specific plan we don't know about yet, possibly related to something the Rocks Pirates.

It doesn't have to be twins, but "he's just a weird dude" is not at all satisfying or in line with how Oda sets things up. There definitely is more to explore in Blackbeard's background that will give context to those quirks, and that's really exciting. If it's twin shenanigans, I'm sure it won't just be twin shenanigans. There's a ton of room for a compelling, bizarre backstory for Blackbeard. Of all the characters in this manga, I'm sure Oda's got a good story for this guy.

I think it's also got to tie in with the Devil Fruit lore we are starting to get. He's one of the few people to have read the encyclopedia of devil fruits iirc and has been set up as a master opportunist who can also work towards long term goals. Like if you know you have the personality type to really master a certain fruit, the context that makes a particular fruit powerful against other DF users and possibly some weird mutation to put yourself over the line then it's an engineered perfect storm of destruction.

Tldr I think people get way to caught up in the weird body thing and miss the forest for the trees.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
Marco is a doctor and presumably is familiar with whatever happens to people who try to eat two DFs, and as a former crewmate of Teach, probably familiar with his body. If there was a specific thing that he was aware of that would make this possible, he'd probably know what it is, but the writing in both the original and the translation make it clear that Marco is just speculating in that moment.

I think it's supposed to be clear that whatever the deal with Teach is, we're not supposed to have any idea, yet.

If his fruit is running Egghead Island, they probably want it like they wanted Luffy’s and Law’s fruits. So it could be dangerous for him. We haven’t seen what powers the island yet and it could be related to the shadowy figure.

Enel's existence is completely unknown to the WG. An admiral-tier logia devil fruit power would definitely be of interest to them if its user suddenly appeared in front of CP-0 agents

And there's a ton of ties to Vegapunk and the robots on the moon, so they could have connected in that time.

The main thing that actually doesn't make sense is that if Vegapunk and Enel are connected, wouldn't his electricity be the answer to VP's energy problems? Or is a logia devil fruit's energy output not as limitless as VP needs?

If Garp is going over to Blackbeard's base, the story beats are foreshadowing that Blackbeard captured Law and has his powers as well. How else will the story spice up otherwise?

Enel's fruit could potentially run the giant robot like he does with his ship Maxim, but I’d expect Vegapunk to figure out if it just runs on electricity.

If Devil Fruit can eat swords and guns then they can eat people, too.

Teech never killed his crewmate, the Yami Yami no Mi ate both of them. Teech died a long time ago.

The reason why they had to throw a sheet over Whitebeard to steal his power is because they would've revealed their secret.

And the reason why they can have multiple powers is because the rule is no individual can have two powers, but there's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball a sentient/sapient fruit can't obtain a power other than their own inherent power.

The sheet was to hide Blackbeard splitting open his chest so one of his parasite fetuses could burst out and absorb Whitebeard’s lineage factor using nanomachines.

What if people can’t have 2 fruits just because people believe they can’t have 2 fruits, but Blackbeard just believed really hard that he can eat a second fruit.

A boombox is not a toy!

Blackbeard has a hole in a sheet and he can do anything he wants through it - including celebrating Christmas and eating two devil fruits.
