Not wanting to come off as a “conspiracy theory” nut, but.... they do sell a remote oil filter kit that lets you orient the oil filter vertically and in an area where you can actually get tools and a trash bag around the filter to catch the oil waste.
On my M34B the oil filter is so tight against the bottom of the cooling hose that it becomes a major hassle to even get a strap wrench on the filter. That, and the mess from dripping oil, becomes a major motivation for buying a remote kit every time I change the oil. So ya think maybe the dumb design is really smart marketing? Or am I just being a cynic?

I second that thought. Whomever designed that placement never changed the oil filter on one of these engines! Dave
