Which inconveniences how? You have to go down to see what the reply is 
replying to anyway.

And you lose the capacity to make comments follow specific conversation 
elements. Opening and reading quickly seems unlikely to have much to do 
with it. More likely too concerned with what is easiest to write without 
the need to properly configure your mailer than with what is easiest for 
the readers of your prose.

Top posting certainly expresses no concern for those who come after the 
fact (days, months, or years later) with no immediate knowledge of the 
conversation thread. That can be a nightmare to untangle.

How tough it is to understand that you reply to what has already been 
stated (e.g. gone on before your reply)?
