That is not always the case. My last job had unlimited PTO and some of us took 20+ days per year.

20+ days is nothing to write home about with unlimited PTO. Many jobs in Europe have anywhere between 21-25 (or even 28) paid vacation days per year. As a standard. I'd imagine in order to justify unlimited PTO you would have to be able to take at least 30-40 days per year without any issues.
20 days does not seem like an extravagant ammount
Around here anything above 15 is a lot.
Yeah, anytime I take more than 10 days off in a year, I know that I'm pushing above the average. And that counts days around the holidays too. Every year I plan to take one vacation in the summer for a long weekend, or a full 5 days off in a row if I can.
What is around here? I ask as a (outside of DC non govt) worker with plenty of days (23-24 not including any holiday)~. Might want to avoid that area :)
This is so sad 20+ days is considered great for unlimited PTO??
Funny, most places in Europe the law requires at least 20 days, some places it's even 25 or more.
