Extruder on a cat, not new, but I hate the smell of burning pelt.

it does seem weird.
Given that you'd need a large nozzle and fast feed of material for itto be of any practical use. How's it going to carry all the material such a printer would need.
As far as stability and precision goes. yeah it can be done. just look at the 2 axis gimbals on the new DJI drones. Stable as anything.
Its not that it couldn't be done, these idiots just haven't used the right kit. It's simply that there's bugger all point to doing it.
The solution to the unlimited size 3d printer is much simpler - extendible crane on a mobile platform.

The printer will need to be free-floating and controlled separately. But once in optical distance of a surface, a control system similar to an optical mouse can keep the hot end still with great precision.
As for power, some high-efficiency solar cells on top can power the hot end.
As for need, one might be: Printing a camera mount on top of a crashed plane, to survey the area, or printing a mount for a radio beacon on an un-climbable part of a cliff.
