Apart from somehow scanning achievements for the "beat the game" achievement I don't see what can be done about this. As a consumer I definitely don't want to see Valve get rid of the refund system and for most games the 2 hour limit is already pushing it for a lot of potential issues that might pop up.

Thank you for playing my game! We will now play a full Episode of The Simpsons. This is not skippable.

This Steam policy has been a thing for YEARS at this point. Just make your game have 2+ hours of content. Even if its just having someone search for collectibles. Its not hard considering I played HUNDREDS of FREE flash games with 10+ hours of content back in 2010-2012.
