Changing the fluid may not be a so much a matter of what type it is, but removing the accumulation of suspended non magnetic debris which becomes a wear issue.
Also, cleaning the magnet frequently is a good idea since it can effectively hold only so much mud (fine particles).
The earlier ATF fluid tended to break down and loose some of its properties fairly fast, which made long or no change intervals a concern.
Saab started with no change recommended for the ZF tranny, then after learning the hard way, changed to a 35K interval.
Drain and refill at shorter intervals assures the magnet is relatively clean, and can pick up as much magnetic mud (fine particles) as possible, plus refreshing the fluid and diluting the suspended debris.
