Mass Effect is obviously about the story, but Mulitplayer is not inherently bound by the game's plot, allowing for variety to take priority over continuity in regards to content. If they wanted to add Prothean characters to multiplayer in order to give us new content, they have every right to. The role of Javik and the Protheans as a whole are not diminished by their detached, optional presence.
