Analog clocks are like cursive, there isn't any real world benefit so it seems like we should spend that effort on one of the many other things that schools could teach.

They look nice. Some of them anyway, not specifically school clocks which I mentally associate with "when is this day going to fucking end?" But reading a clock is not a difficult skill that takes a long time to teach.

It's somewhat easy to teach, but also it's not a useful skill. If someone likes how analog clocks work, then they can learn it on their own time, since it's easy.
