Wouldn't that create an incentive to run your employees so hard they develop health issues? No skin off your back, just get a new employee when the first gets permanently broken. I'm cheeky, but I think that is one of the rationales for having sick leave at all.

How would they run you hard if you have sufficient PTO?

California requires overtime after 8 hours of work per day and on the 7th consecutive day.

If that is not enough, make overtime cost 2x.

Lots of ways to ensure employers do not run employees hard without getting into details of sick days and whatnot.

Glad you asked in earnest! I was thinking more about work environment, possibly bullying etc etc, anything harsh on the body and mind. Of course your system could be setup to a working level, but you'd need more of other controls or incentives to rectify the kinds of problems which can lead to work related health issues.
