Its our choice to have the service done but the manufacturer will cover themselves.
A panic stop on brakes with water loaded brake fluid may well be OK. A long down hill in the Alps, with time to let the heat soak through, probably wont. Brakes with stuck pistons might not stop in time so heat soak wont be an issue.
Internally corroded brake calipers will clean up, but are always going to give trouble as the corrosion oxide expands and compresses the seals. Changing the fluid every 2 years reduces the chances of the calipers corroding so in the long run its cheaper than doing nothing.
