I had no idea this was the norm. I've always been writing on top - including
the previous messages below my reply for years now, which I now assume was a
byproduct of working as an IT consultant as a secondary job. It feels

Sorry, you missed one point. I wrote about mails in general.
Hi,
What we actually want here on lilypond mailing lists is not literally
bottom-posting, but inline-replying:

From David K.:
Gmail's default setting is _not_ to secretly append all of an old
posting to your new mail.
Actually, the default behavior in gmail's web interface is very close to
appending the quote secretly. It used to show the quote, but now reply
gives you an almost completely empty frame
This interface improvement also effectively enforces top-posting: it takes
extra effort to post replies in the middle of quotes (like a conversation)
and most people don't care.
I am in the e-mail world for some decades. It was always a good
style to write the answer on top of all other text
