Why not give unpaid leaves?

Imagine your life if you could get a month or two, or maybe even 4 months of unpaid leave from the job. It'd be incredible change in your life. You'd be able to LIVE every year. Get taxed less, sure make less, but in exchange live more. I'd always take May to Aug off. Travel, vacation, and play sports. Watch sunsets, camp, connect with family, and experience new cultures. This would allow me to come back to work REFRESHED!!!. Maybe even have new ideas. This would be better than paid vacation for companies. Deep down all entrepreneurs want this, freedom. This is freedom. Tech salary is high enough if spent conservatively to last few months easily. Maybe some countries have laws that require employers to give unpaid leave. Makes for better knowledge sharing as well. No risk of one employee leaving with entire knowledge. 4 months leave would naturally expose others in team to his/her problem space.
