As a gamedev I found it's a good way to make players explore all features of a game or in some cases feel like they achieved something very challenging that only a certain percentage of players did.

Makes sense. I personally don’t care for trophies. However, if trophies were tied to even a cosmetic unlock, I’d be a trophy hunter so fast. Even if it was just like a little crown on your character for the platinum or something. But trophies work for most, so I get it. I miss when cosmetics weren’t able to be purchased and had to be earned.
