Conventional economics would say that paid vacation will be factored into salary anyway so arguably not having mandatory paid vacation allows an employee flexibility to trade a week off for more money and doesn't provide any negative effect.

But as I understand it US companies don't have to offer any vacation time at all to employees, how common is this?

I suppose it's also possible that employees underestimate the importance of taking vacation on their sanity so forcing them to make the trade is a good thing.
