Longinus prioritizes noble thoughts and Horace devalues inventiveness

Why would devaluing inventiveness be be bad for prose but good for poetry?
Inventiveness is key to both?

Why should anyone care what this guy said? He never worked a real job in his life.

Plato said that only the Aristocrats should be the Philosophers because they do no hard labor and therefore have the energy to think deeply about things

If you're talking about Plato then the point is to extend the conversation beyond the page. Instead of saying some static thing, he poses a problem with multiple answers in dialogue thus inviting you to join in. If you take all his characters as his literal opinion then you're missing the whole point.

He's not talking about Plato, he's just doing a dull prose vs poetry thread. As a fellow lover of Plato, and as one who even agrees with your sensibility in reading him, try not to be over sensitive.
