I'm not entirely sure, but I do believe that they tend to be grafted onto sturdy rootstocks for that very reason.
You could nip out the top when they get another foot or two taller and then try to get it to a better shape.
But I'd avoid it ATM and just tie the plant up to a stake or cane for a while.
