Fairly sure they are using hydraulic fluid which is compressed by nitrogen (bladder accumulator?). There issues with air being compressed beyond 500 PSI, especially if it is mixed with any combustible vapor. It tends to act like a diesel engine. Why mess with that when you can use an inert gas and have it be a fire extinguisher if ruptured.
