It is a little tricky to make that pinkie obey, but it'll come all of a sudden. Keep at it.
As you gain more experience/dexterity, you'll come across situations where it makes sense to form the G chord some other way. That's progress!!!

I agree with this... I play the open G chord 4 different ways depending on the song and where I am coming from or going to. I do believe that getting used to the pinky is a really good idea. It takes time but is well worth the frustration. It is the fingering I use most often for the reasons mentioned above. Having that Index finger available for the next chord or to do chord embelishments is invaluable imho
