The more cynical approach would be that the longer drain interval looks good to the original buyer as part of being a lower maintenance car and the problems due to it won't service until it's well out of warranty and probably on its third owner. An auto trans does wear and is a source of significant heat and friction so I can't help but be a bit skeptical - a 'bonus' change surely can't hurt!
This isn't anything entirely new for manufacturers. My 9k 5-speed also doesn't have a scheduled fluid change interval, which maybe is more believable for a manual transmission (and Saab believed it enough not to include a drain plug) but I can tell you it shifted a lot more smoothly after the first time I changed the fluid.
