I've never had an auto fail, and I beat the hell out of them.
Lucky you. I assume you don't do severe condition driving (all city, with lots of stop & go in heavy traffic.)

Considering that the only time I ever change fluid or filter is if I have to pull the engine, axle, etc... something that will cause fluid to leak out, which is seldom and far between, I don't think it's really necessary to change the fluid even as often as the MFG says it is (60k, is it?).
As fluid ages, it starts to break down. I prefer to change it often and keep it clean. From what you said I gather that you never clean out the pan and filter, either. If you ever do, it may change your mind...
