Eh. In practice, we're fairly abused as well. I may have more holidays than my US counterparts, but in reality I can only take vacation when the schedule of the company allows it, which is never more than a week at a time at best and like three days in a row realistically.
That seems to be highly dependent on location...we also have to coordinate with the needs of the company where i live, however we are still entitled to minimum 3 weeks vacation during summer (june-august) and at least two of them back to back regardless of the needs of the company.
If I were to put in two weeks back to back, there's nothing they could legally do to stop me, true. But since we don't even have a union at my job, retaliation is guaranteed. Considering it took me the better part of five years to get the job in the first place, the result is that you unfortunately don't bite the hand that feeds you.
*the hand that steals 99.9% of the value you create and leaves you with a few crumbs.
