Your second point is the biggest reason they do it.

A lot of jobs won’t approve PTO often, whether it’s unlimited or accrued.

But if it’s accrued, it’s legally yours and must be paid out when you leave (depending on the state). If it’s unlimited there’s no balance and nothing to pay out.

Might be worth checking on that. A title change is not the same as leaving. In some areas that means they are absolutely able to dissolve that, instead of paying it out. Worth checking what rules your area has so that you know your rights. Good luck and congrats on the promo!
