Why do you think it is fetishization? You can quite literally sip a five euro wine while on sick leave (if your illness allows!), knowing that your finances and job are not at risk, for as long as your recovery takes. There is no hyperbole there, it's the entire point of labour protections.
Meanwhile, as far as I understand, laws only mandate unpaid leave for a limited time, and only for very serious conditions in the US.
