Please elaborate why Steam achievements (or other systems with achievements like UPlay,iOS game center, Google play game services or Amazon Game circle) "don't count"?

They are working the same way as Xbox achievements and PlayStation trophies. You can track your game progress with them. You can share and compare them with friends. It can be an incentive to get the most out of a good game you like or to try different strategies.

Because they don't add up to anything. There is no place to look at a summary of your achievements, no place to even see which games have achievements unless you check each one individually.

They add up and there is a place to look at a summary... it's called Steam profile:

And even if there weren't a summary... you could still compare with friends the progress in individual titles... in the 80s a mere high score of an arcade machine was incentive enough to spend hundreds of quarters to compete with your friends. ;)
