I don't really care if an achievement system is mandatory for devs or not, as long as I as a user can ignore the hell out of it. (preferably turn it off altogether without turning off other online features)

Always wondered why some dislike it. All it really is is a way to allow your friend to see what you have accomplished in game without the need to come over your house, boot up a game, check your treasures/stamps/etc... in a specific games menu.

There is zero downside to it and a ton of upside.

 

I would say to of course give the option to turn off the notifications, but other than not there is absolutely zero reason for Nintendo to not have mandated it.
