My current job, with 20 days PTO plus federal holidays is what I get per year.
If I get sick, it comes out of the 20 day pool. If I want a vacation, comes out of the 20 day pool.
At least, thankfully, I'm a remote worker, so I won't be infecting the whole office. But I still have 'come to work' sick this year. There are more than a few obnoxious cold bugs going around. And still, COVID.
And from what I understand, most European Union countries get unlimited sick leave, and 4-6 weeks of vacation both.
I also want to live and enjoy being with my SO, and doing fun stuff together. I do not live to work. I work because I have to because the threat of homelessness and destitution is the ever-present threat.

Just a side note, but in most countries sick leave requires a doctor-signed papers. Even for a day. Although sometimes companies give call-in-is-fine days as a perk. There're a lot of caveats around pay during that period. In most cases employer pays full salary for first week or so. Later it's on state and pay may be reduced. E.g. 80% of one's salary.
