And here's the thing: why wouldn't you otherwise? Because you feel like you've already completed this game.
A game should be good enough on it's own to make people play it. Achievement systems artificially create a feeling of leaving it unfinished. It appeals to an inherent feeling of completing things, we all have that. It's the reason that makes Pokemon players fill up every slot of the Pokedex, for example. But it's still that: artificial. It doesn't make the game any better. It let's you waste time on games that you actually don't even want to play anymore.
