You are right, nothing to argue against here. What I’m arguing against is just that digital clocks are somehow the successor of analog clock, which they are not. There is a digital clocks are now everywhere and that’s mainly cost. It’s far cheaper to add a digital clock (sometimes just software because the hardware had a (segmented) display anyway). Nobody would add an analog clock to a microwave, because why would you. But because you need the display anyway to show the remaining time, why not show the actual time when there is nothing in it.

The other thing I’m arguing against is the claim that digital clocks are easier to read. That’s just wrong. Assuming you have roughly the same amount of exposure to both types of clocks. Children about 3-5 have no problem understanding analog clocks (just focus their attention to the hour hand at first) but I have yet to see three/four year old kids reading and understanding digital clocks. Digital clocks are more like actual reading and you need a pretty solid understanding of time already to interpret what you read. An analog clock on the other side doesn’t assume you know how long an hour is, quite the contrary, it helps children develop a feeling for how long minutes and hours are.
