Vacations are for life itself! Some people are super happy working every day, that's their life. Good on them. They might still use vacation for funerals, moving households, other needs of life. If you work to live rather than live to work, they are for doing things that make you happy. Is that mental health? I guess. But that frames the goal as maximum working not maximum life. Think about it, seniority comes with more vacation time. As a "perk", it's desirable on its own. Unless work is inherently unhealthy, and it's a perk to be less unhealthy.
