This one is a little lost on me. I understand why quoting whole

various encoding schemes can be a nuisance, but to me it is easier to
write and read replies at the top of the old message. I suppose if you
are looking back in an archive, it might make more sense to read
oldest to newest from top to bottom. But that seems like a pretty easy
adjustment. So what is the argument here against "topposting"?
Topposting makes only more sense, when you are too lazy to quote
selectively instead of just quoting the whole mail (probably including
signatures and ads...). And to have some context is not only nice when
reading through an archive, but also when reading a lot of mail each
day. So it's the easies if you can just open a mail, read a few lines to
know what the topic is and then read the answer to that and not to open
a mail, read a sentence, have no clue what it's talking about, scrolling
to below and start searching for some this vital info.
