Do you see Grinding as a bad thing?

How does one put 600+ hours into one non-mmorpg videogame?  One of my all time favourite game’s is Asteroids that I’ve been playing for years/decades on various platforms - but I highly doubt I’ve put more than 100 hours into them.

Where does one find the time/energy/interest?

Well to be honest, on the day I played this game for the first time if you had told me that 600 hours of game play later I'd still be playing it I would have looked at you with a dubious stare. What I'm trying to say is that I did not plan this. The game is addictive so I kept on playing on and on and today, about 640 hours later, to be more accurate, I'm still trying to go for the super hard inferno trophies. I hope to get at least 2 out of the 4.

Now you have to understand that I'm not playing this all the time, I began playing almost 2 years ago and I have stopped playing it to play other games too only to get back to it later on. And now I have put so many hours into this game that I simply must go on playing until I get those trophies

But the main issue is that the developers went too far, almost as if they don't want people to get those trophies or something and in this case, grinding is definitely a bad thing.

Ah, I never would have thought that Achievements (or Trophies in your situation) were that big of a deal to many.  I’ve never really cared for them and in fact, I’ve looked for ways to turn them off lol.
