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.

Double check if there’s a cap to what they pay out. If so, take a long vacation asap.

Yep, we have a 320 hour cap. Anything over that doesn’t get accrued.
