This is precisely why "unlimited" PTO is a fucking scam. When it's a set amount in writing as part of your compensation package, they're literally committing a crime if they never let you take it. If it's more nebulously worded, it's easier to blame the demands of the job, as though those aren't defined by the same people jerking you around on benefits. And they have proven time and time again that they will take everything from you if given the chance.

While you are correct, the actual reason this started is much simpler.

CA has a law that all unused vacation must be paid out at separation. All the silicon valley CEOs loophole this law by claiming unlimited PTO, therefore no payout because nothing is accrued.
