Unfortunately Hanja stopped being taught in the recent decades and it's now rarely used
As someone knee-deep in the process of learning the J in CJK, I have a perverse fondness for the 漢字, but that largely must be Stockholm syndrome.
One reason I’ve heard is that many Korean words (same for Japanese) have roots in Chinese and not knowing the Hanja representation means you lose some of that connection.
Whether that connection is really worth anything of practical value, is a matter of debate. I lean towards…no.
I'd buy the analogy if they forced people to learn classical chinese
