What's the OT say about this?
In today's labor market, you pretty much have to deal with it if you don't want to turn away good talent. That being said, it should have been brought up during the interview process to let the employer decide if the juice was worth the squeeze and that depends on the perception of what the employee brings to the organization. For instance, if you had the opportunity to have Patrick Mahomes as the QB of your football team, but it was understood from the start that he wouldn't be available for Week 4 of the season, would you still want him? Most would say yes.

When I took my current job, they asked me to start on a certain date, but I had pre-existing plans I could not cancel (I was in a destination wedding) the second week. I was upfront about it during the hiring process and they said that is fine.
Really depends on the situation.

I offered to do this during an interview a couple years ago. Told him that I was going to Dallas for a bachelor party and then going to Boston the following week. I told him I would could start after I got back from Boston. He told me it was up to me if I wanted to start right away and work the couple days in between the two trips, which I did.
Looking back, I wish I would have just started after the Boston trip and enjoyed having three weeks off.

If it was disclosed previously then shouldn’t be looked at as a problem. Some vacations are expensive and booked well in advance

If it was discussed during hiring, then it shouldn't be an issue.
Given the current climate of layoffs at other jobs, it shouldn't be surprising that someone might have a vacation already scheduled (a lot of people plan months out for vacations) without the anticipation of being let go.
That's part of hiring people who aren't just sitting at home on unemployment. They have lives.

Kinda depends. I had one new hire just come aboard and tell me about a vacation she's taking in November which is fine....but if you're talking about taking time off in your first month, that's pretty bold

I have done that. Told them pay me or don't pay me but I wasn't going to be here that week. Like 3 weeks into new job.

If I’m the boss, it’s going to be an unpaid vacation, and that would be made clear in the interview.

The only bit of flak/questioning I ever got for PTO was taking the Monday and Tuesday off for the 2019 national championship. No ragrets for that.

here's my story. was hired in March 1995 at a small family run manufacturing co. (9-10 office workers(me) and 50-60 plant workers) they said after 1 year you will have 10 days off. so, one year comes and goes and that next summer my wife and I planned a Sept vacation to Vegas. She was pregnant and that was the last time for a while we could go that far away. Reservations were made, flights were scheduled and about 2 weeks before the trip, the owner's son who ran the place comes in and says, "well, see, the clock doesn't start until November, so really you haven't worked here a full year yet, BUT we'll just overlook that, blah blah blah...." I guess I should have been grateful, but it rubbed me wrong. Hadn't had a day off (other than legal holidays) in 18 months, you dang right I'm going on a vacay.

Did they disclose it during the interview? If they didn’t you are not required to let them take off. If I agreed to it and hired them I assume they were worth it.
I hired a pregnant lady once knowing she was going to be out for 6 weeks, but she was still a great hire.

If discussed ahead of time and agreed upon it is a little silly to be upset as the current employer.
Back in the old days you had to work a good amount of time prior to being eligible for time off....did that go away?

It all depends what you are being hired for. If you have a potential employee that you know brings a lot to the table, PTO from the start may be an incentive of getting them to come aboard. I started out with vacation where I am now.
