I think the benefits to the company of "unlimited time off" are

they don't have to pay out unused time off if the person leaves
they don't have to keep track of it as closely
sometimes people take less time off, so they get more working hours out of people
it looks good on paper to applicants

Many companies don't do that even with fixed time off: see every company I ever worked at.

Interesting! I grew up in WA and currently live in UT, and neither require it, though my dad had his paid out when he retired (company policy).

Exactly

Also, I guess there are some fine print conditions like you get less bonuses if you're not working enough, or you're only eligible after working for some time. But that details I don't know
