Why aren't some ESO Players happy about account wide achievements?

The new ESO update will introduce account wide achievements. Players have waited for this change for a long time, but why aren't all happy with it?

Once you unlock an achievement on one character, you can purchase furnishings that require achievement completion on any character. For example some antiquity furnishing items require you to complete achievements before you can purchase them.
Titles are now also account wide. Now you can equip any title with any character.
You will need to login to each character so the game can "collect" all the achievements and add them to your account.
Exceptions that are still tracked via character and not via account:
Enchanting Rune knowledge
Motif Crafting knowledge
Lorebooks read
Skyshards obtained by a character
Public Dungeon Group Event achievements
Dragonguard Sanctum daily achievements

Individual Character Progression is lost in ESO

Titles can be used by any ESO character after creation
