I don't buy the idea that it's somehow unfair to others not to have those things unlock retroactively. I've been here since Beta, I think I should have something to show for it. That actually really annoys me.

I expected to log in to 1.20 and have the achievements that mirror my Lodestone History automatically unlock.
I agree, I think it's a bit silly. But even if they want to keep with "being fair" and giving new players the same advantage when it comes to achievements, they should at least give achievements for things that can still be accomplished post-1.20. Like getting a class to level 50, or reaching all of the camps/nodes.

On the flip side though, they did say they have over 300 achievements ready for 1.20, so I'd imagine there's quite a bit of variety already there. And like normalforce said, the Lodestone History does seem a bit more suited for smaller, incremental events--things that don't require much extra effort while simply playing the game--like the ones I mentioned earlier. I'd imagine the new achievements are going to be pretty interesting and tough to accomplish in comparison, so I'm excited to see what they've come up with.
