Are game achievements necessary?

Mods disable achievements and devices or what have you unlock all achievements, the data compiled is unreliable to developers, so what is the overall point in achievements? An option to clear ones achievement history, does it belong to the developers of the game, or the one purchased the game? I'm not asking to get rid of achievements I'm asking for the right to clear achievements.
