Those who invented and first used email decades ago found that the 
interleaved style with trimming of unwanted text worked best in practice.

Many years later, when the internet and World Wide Web gained widespread 
usage, people weren't told about what had been found to work best, and 
the email programs they used created a reply that quoted the original 
message and left the cursor at the top, so people just put their reply 
there.
