I know technically it doesn't need one, just like Latin. Yet there is still a word order,
though its not necessary. Latin technically doesn't need a word order, which is used in
poetry, but yet the standard is a SOV order. How about Russian?

From what I've seen, Russian generally uses SVO when there isn't something that needs to be stressed.

Second that. SVO would make a perfectly normal, neutral sentence.
