I was never a huge fan of taking full days off weeks in advance. I've always preferred half days off. Some places won't always let you do this but my last job of 5 years. Let me go home on a 1 minute notice or email my boss in the morning that'd I'd be taking a half day off. Coming in late or not at all. This was discussed with him beforehand and he did the same with his boss. I was only give about 2-3 weeks total a year and I was always ahead on my work and never did it during busier crunch like times. I can't imagine having to fill out that kind of paperwork to take time off. That just sounds miserable.
Where I worked agreed with your statement. It's your assigned pto. You can take it anytime you want because that's what it's their for. Obviously everyone was ethical and respectful of timing. But it was a very relaxed and low stress work environment with the ideal that the work will be done when it gets done.
