Analog TV is also massively less spectrum efficient. You can fit 4+ digital channels in the same spectrum as one analog TV channel.
And don't forget how low and inconsistent the quality of analog TV was compared to what we can broadcast digitally.
The real story here is that latency isn't actually important to live TV, so it's a no-brainer trade-off to make. If you look at other transmission technologies where latency is more important, like cellular data transmission, latency has only decreased over the years.
