Not having it mandatory is fine, though it may affect how a certain segment of hte installbase purchases some titles. For multiplats I imagine that all the same cheevos will be in as on other platforms.
I like Nintendo's system - whereby you unlock in-game extras for doing certain things - quite a bit more than just getting unspecific points. And really, recognizable-at-a-glance achievement levels are something Nintendo has been doing since 2008 at the latest - you see osmeone with five stars in Mario Kart Wii, they are very probably going to whip your monkey ass.
