I was wondering why terrans addons are forced to be placed on the same spot everytime. Would it be possible to have a change where, if the addon cannot be construct on his initial location, it just moves to another corner of the building? Or even make a possibilty for the player to choose where he want to place it. Or is there a balance problem I don't see here? Because depending on the placement on the map for the terran player it can ease a lot some defenses/transitions, even having a better way to manage in-base buildings placements.

I look at is as an asymmetrical reality of the game, yes is does effect how you need to approach walls from different locations however it is a consistent rule for all players and at this point I'll just call it charming.

Because it's an unnecessary level of complexity that doesn't need to be there. You'd have just as many people annoyed about the extra 2 actions + camera requirement to place the add-on.
No point in taking something simplistic and functional that works and tacking on the model, animations and "rotate" button that would be necessary

Terrans already have the most freedom with building placement (Zerg needs creep, Protoss needs pylon power), and Terrans do just fine by planning their base layout / chokepoints.

I have thought about this before but the addon system looks shockingly complicated in the editor and I really don't want to invest time into figuring that out when time is already limited and there are more important things to figure out

The fixed addon placement dates back to Brood War. It was a core part of Terran base building. Blizzard initially maintained it in SC2 to preserve that feel and strategic depth. They wanted Terran to feel distinct in its base building limitations. The rigid placement forces Terran players to plan their base layout carefully from the very beginning. It emphasizes macro mechanics (spending resources efficiently) and early scouting to anticipate attacks on those fixed points. The argument was that allowing free placement would reduce this pressure and make Terran too forgiving.
