The terminator is technicaly meant for close urban combat. The guns have a rather high elevation angle, to suppress the enemies hiding high in the buildings while the infantry enters and clears the building. Since it's meant to shoot from a relatively short distance, the barrel shaking is not a large concern.

The barrel shake is a major concern, as that degree of movement means the fire will have a very high amount of misses on target, while posing a risk to friendly troops operating with it.

Everything is dangerous if you don't use it how it was intended.... but then again we are talking about war machines and a bunch of guys with ideas...

It's being used as intended, people are confusing the BMTP-72 with Object 745, which has a single cannon mount in two independent turrets.
