Imagine being able to mount a weatherproof box outside, run the
balanced-line
to it, then run coax into the shack - and the coax runs at very low SWR,
so
it can be pretty long without having much loss.
Seems to me that the basic principles used in the KAT2 and other
relay-based
ATUs could be adapted to a balanced tuner.

Just remember that some relays are very noisy when operating e.g. those in
the KAT100, so the weatherproof box must also act as a soundproof enclosure
to avoid waking up any neighbours if you are on the low bands, for example,
at some unholy hour.
