Obviously them being voiced is the biggest one. I do like reading lore/quests, but sometimes it's just too much of a chore.
Them looking pretty or be animated is definitely a plus, but not required.
Them showing characters that I know and have talked to before (or that have been referenced in lore) is also big.
I very rarely skip cutscenes (at least when first time seeing them), but those 3 points would be the biggest reasons for me to DEFINITELY not skip a cutscene.
As for examples, the latest cutscene in a World Quest from Genshin was incredible. They're unskippable either way, but even if there was a way to skip them - I would never.
There's more before this clip, but I thought the culmination was a better representation of what I mean.

Also, yeah, MUSIC. Music sells anything, as long as it's great and appropriate for the scene.
And a slight point of annoyance in unvoiced dialogue cutscenes - the subtitles moving WAY TOO FAST. I'm a slow reader and I also want to enjoy the cutscene itself, so reading subs that fly by at mach 3 speed is highly detrimental to my enjoyment.
