This is exactly why games have achievements for things like making it through the tutorial, completing Act II, or beating the final boss. It lets devs know how far players get through their games before loosing interest.
Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them?

Guys, many of you fail to realize this but achievements, and the system surveillance required to validate them are valuable data to game publishers.
They arent going away without a fight.

Developers really don’t need achievements for telemetry purposes, there are far better ways to accomplish that. At worst you can see them as a form of marketing, when you see people in your friends list getting them, but that’s about it.
