I could be totally wrong, but I think there was a concern that some people were making useless edits and doing other non-productive things just to get the achievements. It ended up beings bit of a mess to clean up. Besides, I don't understand the logic of people needing little icons on their profile as an incentive to contribute. If people truly want to help and make this a great wiki, and enhance the community as a whole, an "achievement" (that in all reality means absolutely nothing) isn't their incentive to contribute anyway. I guess I just don't understand the need some people have for these little tokens to provide a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Besides, there's a link to see all of a user's activity on the Wiki. It's not like there's no way for people to see who's done what.
