I think everybody puts too much emphasis on it being a strict generational thing while imo it’s mostly a force of habit.
I’m on my early 20s, and used to take around 10 seconds to read an analog clock. Fully digital mind. Bought an analog wrist watch this summer and merely 1-2 months into wearing it I started understanding it instantaneously and all of “half past” type phrases click immediately now.

I’m 38 and still take 10s to read an analog clock.
I do still say half past etc though. I don’t really associate them with digital vs analog
