I see no downside to having such a system. If you don't care about them, think they're stupid, a waste of time, etc... just ignore them. They'd still be there for people who do enjoy them.

What's interesting is Nintendo has made games with their own achievement systems built in. Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario, Smash, Animal Crossing, Mario Odyssey, Bayonetta, some of the Fire Emblem games, etc. They obviously see the value in it, they're just too lazy to make it a universal system like every other major console/storefront.

It's better as an ingame incentive to unlock things and have it focused on the individual game over a cosmetic platform based system that only incentivizes stroking epeens over an ecosystem. And the fact that it's required for most of those systems makes it harder on a bunch of non-shovelware devs.
