Legal, or not?
Let me guess, exterior wall that is going to get siding?
Not trying to hijack the thread, but when I got up this morning, saw an episode of Holmes on Holmes called "re-in-venting". Main problem with this house was the undersized high-velocity A.C. system, but the main panel was installed on a wall horizontally...is that legal?
But on the romex stapled to the OSB...that to me would be a "workmanlike quality" issue.

I will go with stupid and short sighted but not directly prohibited by the NEC.
In Canada, where the show is filmed at, is legal.
So is there a code for here that prohibits the horizonal mount?
NEC 300.4 only addresses were cables are routed thru bored holes in wood, but I would fall back on 110.12, re: lack of workmanship..
