There *is* a logic to bottom posting, but the structure of usenet wasn't

Take a look at a good web-forum such as vbulletin, there you'll see how
bottom posting works well, it's integral to the structure of the forum, not
in the way people structure their replies.

Nothing to do with the structure of Usenet but rather the software that
we are using. It is the fact that, when replying with quoted text, most
programs place the cursor above the quoted text rather than below it.
