It's a money-thing more than it's a wellness-thing. Overall, it's good for employers and bad for employees.
With traditional PTO accrual, employees get a payout of all unused PTO when they leave the company. It's expensive for the employer, and they also have to carry all of that PTO on their balance-sheet as a liability.
Under unlimited PTO, most employees take the same amount of vacation as they do under traditional PTO. So no difference there. But when the employee leaves, the employer doesn't have to pay out the remaining PTO balance.
Also: it's only unlimited until it isn't. You can hit invisible/unofficial limits without knowing it.
