Eli5 why we test on mice?

They aren’t biologically compatible with us and so often seems like treatments that work with mice stumble at human testing stage.
So why do we keep using mice? Why not a different animal more closely related to us?

They are cheap, reproduce like wild fire, easy to manipulate and people don’t really care too much about the lives of mice.
