Some people seem not aware of the fact that achievements are important for developers as well.

Those story achievements show a dev how many people even bothered to try their campaign. With that knowledge they can adjust the length of future games, skip multiplayer or think of story DLC.

As a gamer I know a friend's current story progression and can challenge him or talk about the game without accidentally spoilering anything.

Regarding secret achievements, they exist because they spoiler the game if you read through the achievement list.

Anything else is just lazy design by the developers. It does exist, but don't blame the achievement/trophy system for it.
Go to xboxachievements.com or playstationtrophies.org . They look closely at the achievements/trophies in each of their game reviews.
