I thought that was normal phosphoramidite synthesis with a photogenerated acid for activation

In fact, there are strong links between easily/reliably achievable read lengths in DNA sequencing, oligo lengths in DNA synthesis, and probe lengths in microarrays.

Yeah but they use a template, terminal tranferase doesn't depend on a template to extend ssDNA

precisely for this reason. A counter example would nanopore sequencing, where the DNA is read by pulling it through a pore, rather than by synthesizing a complementary strand one base at a time.
