If your mental model of time is based on analog clocks, then when looking at a digital clock you have to translate it back clock hands to know what it means, and that’s slower than immediately seeing the analog clock face.

Sure, but it’s stupid to tell kids “objectively, analog is easier”, especially when those kids most likely grew up with digital clocks.
