If you're developing a game for the market, do you believe you should conform to the standards and expectations of that market (UI, gamemodes, controls, battlepass, etc) or should you always seek to stand out?

How do you believe achievements should be handled? Do you have an achievement philosophy? How do you avoid bloat to make achievements more meaningful for players that pursue them?
