Why did Nintendo chose not to implement a system wide achievement system? Stubborn or missed the boat?

But Nintendo, and I believe them, have stated and implied for years how they care about the physical and mental  health of their consumers. That's why we got games like Brain Games and devices like wii motion, wii fitness pad, and why they are working on other QoL improvements (including, according to rumors and patents, some kind of sleep monitoring device). They care about our health. If they think that something leads to an unhealthy obsession, then they won't do it. Heck, you can't even play their games without warnings (including pop ups) saying you should take a break after it's been like 30 minutes of play. They care like crazy about their consumers.

Well considering the Amiibo obsession I'm not sure whether that's actually true or not

Yes it is. Haven't you read all the interviews/articles with them stating that they didn't want people to buy them obsessivly as collectibles? They didn't envision Amiibo becoming like a pokemon card collection activity.
