Yes, I am a US software developer with nearly 20 years. You are very clearly not talking to your employer and not thinking this through.
PTO, even unlimited, is managerial discretion (not HR) and is rarely allowed more than two weeks in a stretch.
What's a leave of absence?
As a financial tech worker, what you're describing sounds like academia or European standards. Of course they're great solutions, they just don't exist as options for some of us.
