That's not angle shooting and his massive stack doesn't put you at a disadvantage.

OP is clearly right.

Clearly, PokerStars have set a maximum buy-in for the game.

Clearly, the user is effectively circumventing this process by never finishing a session.

This is exacerbated by the limited number of opportunities for a player to access heads up games.

First, his massive stack does not put you at a disadvantage. 50 dollars is 50 dollars.

I suggest you e-mail Stars. This isn't angle shooting, but they apparently have failed to put a timer on the sit out on these tables. No big deal, and I bet they fix it on the next upgrade.

I believe its already been said

Add more heads up tables and put a timer

The player in question is doing nothing wrong

Well, it depends if he has an advantage: If he's much better at playing deepstacked than he is at playing regular stacked poker, he's probably at an advantage by ensuring he always has his opponent covered, whilst normally he might sit in with 100bb, lose and still be playing 100bb deep. Now he's guaranteeing that he gets to play 200bb deep if he loses a buyin at the start.

This isn't a tournament. He's not going to bully other players with his large stack.

That is his right. He earned his stack by beating his opponents.
