I take the side of a simple "change out" once in awhile. I drive Hondas and they do recommend "flushes" at least on their transmissions. I drain/refill the trans fluid now annually (104,000 miles.) for 25.00 in fluid and 25 minutes of my time I sleep better at night knowing it's getting changed. Just my .02 to each his own I suppose. They also drain/refill coolant at about 90.00 dealer price. I drop 10.00 like it's nothing buying a sub for lunch to me my car is certainly worth 100 bucks annually (or less) for again piece of mind. Am I wasting my money, maybe but I've spent it on dumber things.
