I don't see it as a bummer at all. I don't think law should dictate relationships between employers and employees. If Americans want more vacation time, they are free to negotiate for it with their employers.

Not sure how in any possible way it's better for the employee to have 2-3 weeks instead of 5. But ok, to each their own I guess. It's possible to negotiate here as well, but again, I dont see in what ways it's better to start at 2-3 weeks rather than 5.

I didn't say it is better to have less vacation time.  I said (rather, I implied) that it is better to not have it set by law.  The employee/employer relationship should be up to those two parties, and nobody else.
