The fact is, the world has moved away from quoted mail with inline

Top posting rules basically everywhere except hold-out old-school mailing
lists. Gmail, both on the web and _especially_ on mobile, makes it almost
impossible to do quoting and inline replies properly. I can't imagine other
big consumer email providers are much better.
Top posting rules where people talk at each other. This is common in the corporate world
where email is treated like letter writing.
When people are having a conversation with each other, you reply like this. In the
corporate world, I often see people struggle putting their responses in red text, or in
caps, instead of quoting properly. Quoting properly isn’t “old school” or “hold out”, it’s
basic courtesy.
I don’t find quoting on mobile particularly difficult (speaking for iPhone).
