That’s pretty cool, but I don’t see the benefit of it. He still can only use two things at once unless it is extremely small cord and if that’s the case, I’ll just break the tap.

if the horizontal doesn't exist it doesn't exist, and I've done my due diligence to prove it isn't available.

I am very certain that it isn't available as a currently manufactured standard or GFCI receptacle.
As noted by several people above, this receptacle orientation is available as an expensive surge suppression receptacle.
I think that the 'snap in' receptacles could work nicely, with a very simple custom mounting plate (flat metal plate with two screw holes and two square holes). Then you could have any combination of receptacle orientations you wish. This would actually be nice for behind appliances with 90 degree plugs.
Finally these receptacles were definitely manufactured in the past, and you can likely find 'new old stock' available.
