It's quite easy to get the solid enough understanding of hydraulics/fluid mechanics since it's something you can see/touch and easy to visualize. Kids love to play with water, a few experiments at school/home and they quickly understand it.

You can feel pressure and see flow rate. They're way easier to understand than voltage and current. Hydraulic accumulators are a real thing. There's even a freaking hydraulic equivalent of a boost converter! It's an amazing analogy. I'd say even calling it an analogy sells it short - it's not "like" electricity; it's exactly the same but in a different domain.
