Strictly spoken, the new window also appears at the bottom of the frame ;-)
An obvious solution to do what you mean is to bind
`split-width-threshold' to nil in `display-buffer-at-bottom' as
(let (split-width-threshold)
(setq window (window--try-to-split-window bottom-window alist)))
But this should be better done _around_ calling `display-buffer'. There
an application should also bind `split-height-threshold' and
`window-min-height' appropriately as well as a specify a `window-height'
alist entry. Otherwise, Emacs will often refuse to make a new window
which is probably not what we want when displaying *Completions*.
