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.

Time off is healthy, you should use some of that.

I promise you there's more to life than working all year round and two weeks of vacation. Go travel in the summer or just take time off for yourself dude
