I agree fully that the engineers aren't thinking about service when they design things. I have always felt that they should have to work on the vehicles that they design. The truth is that it's cheaper to manufacture an engine block with a horizontal filter. I have discovered a trick that helps the horizontal filter problem.
If you have access from above the filter punch a hole in it down towards the end and then rotate it 1/2 turn (remember they are tightened 3/4 turn after initial gasket contact). If you can get a catch pan underneath it will drain out and get 90% of what's going to ooze out when you spin it off. I sometimes can't get a pan under a filter and will then wrap a heavy duty ziplock freezer bag around it to catch the draining oil.
I discovered this one when changing the oil in my boat. That has a 4-cyl Chevy in it and it oozes the oil into the bilge. Makes a heck of a mess.
