Yes, getting 3000 hits in the Major Leagues is a big deal. It is an enormous accomplishment, no matter how long it takes.
Heck, getting one at bat at that level is an honor of which any man could be proud.
Look at how good you have to be, just to get drafted. Look at how few of all those who have played, have achieved certain milestones.

appeal to authority logical fallacy (but yes I did, and was good at it til my arm fell off)
and it's an ok deal, but it's not some mark of greatness without the context of how it was done. Mostly it's a sign of longevity. A player's productivity can not be described by the blunt instrument of how many hits they got.
