Unlimited PTO is definitely less time off than advertised, but these horror stories of race-to-the-bottom zero-time-off cultures are largely unfounded. I worked in SF for two years while at a series B startup and by the nature of the industry and my role, got to know many people at different startups. I took something like, 3 work weeks off per year; most people took a bit more than I did, with a few taking 6+ weeks off in a year. The guy who took the least vacation, that our manager had to remind to take time off, probably took around 1.5-2 weeks off.
