It's a pet peeve more than anything - I just hate it when I have to scroll around to find if a class is abstract or not, our team puts it at the top so that's never an issue. Having it anywhere else means it can be any arbitrary number of lines below the class definition making it harder to find.

I’ve never worked on a Django codebase that puts Meta at the top of a model definition. Not saying that it’s the wrong hint to do, but this just feels like feigned surprise because you surely also know that it’s far from common.

It very much was feigned surprise, though I do know a few Django devs who prefer top. I've never really understood the logic for hiding it in the middle or at the bottom even though both are much more common.
