So, despite the fact that you can personally set it to where you don't need to see achievements/trophies, the fact that your friends can annoys you? Get over it, mate.
Personally, I don't care that much. I'm just sick of hearing "just ignore it" or "get over it, mate" from people who aren't thinking about the implications beyond their own personal feelings.
I'm trying make a broader point. Specifically, that opting out or having to ignore something isn't cost-free, and that in this context, you can't even truly opt-out - only ignore your own participation. I think these are valid arguments to not wanting platform-level achievement systems.
People who defend achievement schemes keep framing them as cost-free to people who don't want them and it's straight up bullshit. Make a better argument.
