It appears the horizontal split puts the latest thread at the bottom

I think not, as that would mean that threads are sorted in one
direction, but posts within a thread are sorted in another.
That seems natural to me.
Consider the space bar's current functionality: it jumps to the next
unread post. How would it work in this scheme? Would it go down within a
thread and then jump up to the next thread? Or would it keep going down,
going through older posts within a thread but newer threads?
An option to reverse sorting direction could be added I suppose, but...
why do you say that your proposal seems natural? Is it implemented that
way elsewhere?
The horizontal-split mode (and its sorting direction) is not new, BTW.
