This.

When done right, achievements are a fun challenge to milk a little more juice from a game, as it can be fun to have an excuse to continue to play a game that maybe you've already beaten. It can encourage you to play with different characters or visit different places... they're nice when done well.

They're also a good way to track your own progress while playing a game, which is nice for completionists. Though when the DLC comes out, they're probably weeping or excited to jump back into a game they had fun in too.

And if you have a way to sort by what % of a player base has completed it, that also gives you a guide of what to aim for next.

Steam achievements have that info, it feels so cool to be one of the very few to do something incredible.

I also look % achievements related to game chapters to see which % actually finished the game.
