There is no group setting to fix this. Yes, Google in general seems to encourage top-posting, as Gmail has the same behavior. For some types of conversations this may be OK, but for technical exchanges where clarity of what is being responded to is key, it is very bad. People will appreciate it if you make the effort to put your text where it most logically flows (might be bottom, might be inline, might even at some times be top) despite the tool's annoying behavior of encouraging top-always.
