Continuous Line via Length and Angle
Create a variant of the line tool that you can continuously add a segment via entering length and angle in a tool options dialogue box. It would stay open and follow you around on your screen until you click okay/finish/done. Just a small box with length and angle options.

Your idea is to draw a polyline segment by segment in a similar way?

I run a Graphic Design business as well as work a full time job in AutoCAD. AutoCAD has a ton of limitations that Illustrator can do with ease. And I’m sure vice versa. But as far as 2D model space, I can do everything much quicker in Illustrator except run that continuous line.

This is so CAD :)
It definitely can be scripted,, Illustrator allows these things.
I never had a task that would require this though, I wonder what are you going to create with this?
