It isn't. Imagine a situation where you have two (or more) questions
with similar but different answers. Top post the answer and you don't
know what is being referred to which leads to wide scale confusion. Top
posting is NEVER a timesaver. Do you answer the phone by answering a
point or question before you've heard what is being asked?

Some people also like email signatures which follow "-- ". Seems your
email client is somewhat broken - like the argument for top-posting.
