It is normal, there is throttle bore cleaners, like 3M makes it & others.
It is from the crankcase vents & PCV system.
Yes the whole intake gets coated in this stuff too.
There are systems (professional) that clean injectors & intake tracts.

just think, not only is that on your throttlebody, its coating the entire surface of the interior of the intake manifold. only way to stop it is loose the egr and pcv.
