I get job listings from Indeed, and i rarely see unlimited PTO, but it seems too good to be true. You'll just be measured against other people who take no days off.

I get that, and agree that unlimited pto is not some benevolent policy. In my experience though, the flexibility it provided was useful, and there were no real downsides. Our company didn't churn through employees, so losing a few days of vacation accrual when you left wasn't that impactful when most people stayed 5+ years. Of course each place is going to have their own shit, I'm just saying that a fixed 20 days off isn't necessarily better than unlimited pto.
