I'm sympathetic to your frustration, but this seems like an argument you could make about all kinds of things. If you work at a company with unlimited snacks, some people will munch all day and get most of their calories for free, while parents and people on diets have to eat elsewhere and will only have snacks once in a while. If you work at a company with unlimited breaks, some people will take 10 breaks a day while others will be pressured by their manager to take only 1 or 2. It can't be the solution to say companies have to strictly regiment every employee interaction so they can make sure it's fair.

You can have minimums and optional maximums. We have minimum breaks in most states, companies should be obliged to have a specific minimum in their PTO - otherwise it can easily be false advertising.
