The government are not "forcing" anyone to relax.

The government is forcing companies to allow you to take your PTO. Without said laws there are almost certainly going to be companies that will shame workers/create hostile environments to force employees into not taking their PTO.

They really are required not just to allow you take time off, but to make sure you take it. Which is great because as you say it leaves no room for pressure tactics.

And yeah I did once work with a weirdo who had no life and got really mad that he was forced to take time off :D
