Sadly not that many cars are good to use DOT5 and even traces of 3,4 or 5.1 are enough to cause problems. Strangely, the Dodge Viper came with DOT5 from the factory.
That type doesn't need changing, so not really appropriate, standard DOT3 or 4 absorbs water,were it can catch you out if left is on long hard braking generating heat the water content can boil & cause the brake pedal to go spongy/drop to the floor, just when you need it least
Never known brake fluid changes to be part of a service schedule only ever an advisory extra that is worth doing every once in a while.

Not used a main dealer since I left the motor trade 20+ years ago as I saw all the money being charged for jobs not completed .
So I wonder how many people are being charged for a fluid changes and they haven't been done?
Yes such as tappets. In the book but never done.
