The reason there are people who don’t support it is because of conservative shame culture. If you aren’t rich, it is because you are lazy. They don’t want to take anything away from the rich because they earned it and deserve it. If that means the worker suffers, then the worker should just work harder so they can be rich too.
You do if you’re in a union. At least my union does. Part of our pay package includes contributions to our PTO accounts at our credit union. As far as I’m aware, the same is true for all of the other big trade unions as well. We also have paid sick days that accrue over the course of the year with any unused getting rolled over or paid out if you quit.
US has PTO, it is just much less than Europe.

US does not have guaranteed PTO. Most places do give some, but not everywhere. Even those who do give very little.
