What's the point of hiding achievements? (self.games)

How am I supposed to earn them if I don't even know what they expect me to do for them? Why do these exist? I haven't even encountered a game (not even a Fromsoft game, and those guys are notorious for being vague and not forthcoming with info even for guide books) where the hidden achievements were not already listed by a 3rd party somewhere outside of the game day 1, so why not just show them in the damn game?

By this logic, you can look up the solution to puzzles, so why do puzzle games exist?

There's a difference between knowing there is a puzzle to be completed and being given the solution to the puzzle. Achievements should direct you to the fact there is a puzzle; they don't need to give the solution to the puzzle.
