Most of these contracts will have a clause requiring approval of holiday request by your manager.

Ok, that makes sense. So it's not Unlimited PTO "at will", it's "discretionary PTO according to your negotiation skills with your manager".
Generally the manager's hands are tied to by monthly HR reports. Any employee taking an excessive amount of holidays will be flagged up and the manager will have to justify such decisions.
