I can only assume that is because drive manufacturers don't specify
their products for use in any other orientations, rather than any
firm evidence that such orientations adversely affect reliability or
performance. Otherwise deployment in transportation systems would
require some very sophisticated mountings to maintain those
orientations in practice.
