The reason the freezer used to be on the top is that the cool air from the freezer can be dropped into the fridge below easily, as that's where it wants to go. Freezer in the bottom, now you need to blow it up or have a separate cooling assembly in the fridge.

I am sure back in the day, people didn't like to bend over for the freezer either.
