It does depend on the size of the company. If it's a small business, it may have no leeway occasionally, and you may need to time your PTO.
That being said, the last time I worked for a small business and they contacted me during my vacation to beg me to work, I quit directly after the vacation ended.
Really? Really though? Because unless I'm a part owner with a substantial stake, fuck all the way off with that boot licking nonsense. Capital is not your friend. They are not your family. A small business is at best like a cute little bear cub, that will maul you to death without a moment's remorse when it is bigger.
Jesus, you must be a JOY to work with.
If there's a new product launch and you're part of the small team building it... Just don't schedule your PTO on launch week. Schedule it a week or 2 later when the biggest fires have been put out. Don't fuck off when your team needs you the most. Use any other time for your PTO.
Now if there's always a fire burning and it never ends... That is an organizational failure and you should spend part of your PTO looking for a new job.
