Mythbusters found it makes no difference in the spread of fecal matter. Toilet lids aren't perfect seals.
Do you have a source? I googled it and this site said that Mythbusters found the opposite - https://www.theplumbingauthority.com/blog/2019/february/mythbusters-plumbing-edition/#:~:text=%234%20You%20should%20close%20your%20toilet%20lid%20before%20flushing&text=Mythbusters%20did%20an%20episode%20about,your%20bathroom%2C%20including%20your%20toothbrush.
Going off memory of the episode.
And from what I recall your source is leaving out the part where they found poop particles everywhere when they flushed with the lid down as well.
