There reason this one and the analogue dials spark joy is because there's something tangible happening in front of us. Either needles are moving or lights are being lit.

Also, a digital display may be quicker to read a value, but an analog dial is infinitely superior for displaying both range and rate of change, which for rapid readouts is much more significant.
