This is such a good explanation.
Examples of horizontal tools could be something like a Scheduling App, a CRM, or even a Spreadsheet with the idea being that these tools could be used in all verticals/industries. The idea being that someone in healthcare and someone in tech could both use the tool, albeit a little differently. To bring it full circle, because the end user can be so different, it makes onboarding horizontal products really difficult.
Basically I found an interesting article found here( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25043741) and summarized some key points from the comments while adding my own ideas.
