Gmail also encourages top-posting, though at least the quoting mechanism

You do know how to move the cursor, don't you?
I'm going to assume this is a rhetorical question.
Starting with the cursor
at the top shouldn't encourage you to top-post, it should encourage you
to move down through the quoted text, deleting unwanted context and
adding your response in line in each section.
OK, let's look at the possibilities:
Policy: leave the cursor at the top
User wants to top-post: starts typing
User wants to bottom-post: has to scroll before typing
User wants inline comments: has to scroll before typing
Policy: put the cursor at the bottom:
User wants to top-post: has to scroll before typing
User wants to bottom-post: starts typing
User wants inline comments: has to scroll before typing
Which of the two policies is more conducive to top-posting?
None of the above. The choice is all up to you. The policies don't
determine the location of what you post any more than they determine the
content.
