reading all the replies, it seems that the system of rewarding employee loyalty to a company by increasing paid holidays forces unhappy employees to stay with companies, stifles employee skills and knowledge and restricts new skills and knowledge from coming into companies.
For example, I used to be a chef. The catering industry is a very fast moving industry, where food trends and new ideas and new technology are constantly coming into the industry. Chefs learn these new skills and knowledge and food trends by moving from restaurant to restaurant every few years over the course of their careers. This way they bring the skills and knowledge from their previous employment and learn new skills and knowledge in the new job. The employee benefits by having a large bank of experience, skills and knowledge and the company benefits by getting new skills and knowledge.
I used to change jobs every 18 to 24 months. Each time I changed jobs, by law I was still entitled to 28 days paid vacation in the new job. Some places I loved working at and stayed longer, some places I didnt enjoy and stayed a shorter time.
