Most everyone in the US that does not work in an office setting do not get paid for government holidays that they do not work. For example, at stores, restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, hotels, etc.
And there is no legal requirement to pay anyone for any government holiday that they do not work either. Many times, the people that do work on government holidays also do not get paid any extra for working on a holiday.

By law, they don't count. The 28 days might be 20 days of your choice, plus the 8 bank holidays.
Most professional jobs give 28+8 (or more, I had 30+8 which slowly increased to 33+8).

US doesn't have any statutory work holidays. States don't either.
I believe they both define holidays, but it's for those directly employed, not workers in general.
"An employer can choose to include bank holidays as part of a worker’s statutory annual leave."

Because if so, they don't count in the US. So the US would be 17 days of vacation plus statutory holidays. At my job I get 25 days off, plus 13 statutory holidays, so 38 days a year off, paid.
