Maybe it's because I already got a lot of PTO (7 weeks a years, which is standard on this side of the Atlantic), but mandating time off for all the company seems a bit much over letting employee choose when they want to take some PTO

That is not standard in Europe. Speaking for Ireland and the UK, I believe that the standard is 4 weeks (20 days) plus public holidays.

I would absolutely love it if this became standard, though ;)

It's not, although it might be in your particular country.
