Remove achievements completely

In response to https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/106536 I'm opening this discussion to propose the complete removal of the Achievement system itself.

There are many reasons, but these here are the ones I consider the most prominent and important to consider:

Achievements encourage low-effort, nonsensical contributions and actions.

What happens in these discussions also can happen on any other repository of any other user, organization, community... So blocking gaining it here won't really stop it, but only move it away to other targets, causing them the stress of dealing with the spam.

Achievements make contributions more competitive, rather than collaborative.

People get encouraged to contribute, which may sound great at first, but this may often end up in them doing it in a more competitive nature, rather than in a team-like effort.
Instead on working on an issue in a project collectively, one may just try to do it themself to "gain" points for the achievement.
This goes against what Open source Projects should be about: Fostering a community of people helping one another building better projects.

Achievements are 100% pointless account padding

They bring nothing to the table of a user. They don't unlock new stuff, they don't put you on some leaderboard. They are just a cosmetic that does nothing other than taking up space on your account.
And while some of you may know that, a majority of people may not. And this may cause them to try and get those achievements, assuming it gives them something in return, making this a situation where someone makes contributions out of a sense for greed, rather than out of a sense for helping.
