You are right that is why the achievement is called "leaving a good impression". However since commendations are part of the mentorship requirement they are suppose to be more than just a glamour thing...

A mentor is a player with the knowledge and the will to share it with others so the get your job at max level is part of mastering your character (but summoner/scholar/jump potion made it irrelevant for a lot)
The 1000 dungeons is for mastering dungeons/raid/trials/guildhest mechanics (but most will just do ifrit for ever)

So the first two criteria are about the knowledge and now we are left with the will to help/guide others with said knowledge and that is perfect because we have one last requirement: Commendations!!!
