You can handle dynamic pressure much easier if you're vertically stacked and don't have massive wings flopping around in the air too. The Saturn V was also designed to some conservative specifications (Von Braun's German mentality) where every individual component was built to withstand upwards of 5 Gs.

AFAIK the only time the F9 has throttled is if it's carrying a Dragon just to make abort at high Q easier, but I might be wrong about that.

Nope, the F-1 couldn't throttle at all. The F-1A was designed for 70% throttling and might have been ready to go as early as SA-516 if they had ever built more. The SSME was the first rocket engine designed to throttle on ascent.
