I've talked to folks that buy a new car every 3 to 5 years that say they'd never even think of changing the ATF, regardless of what the manual says, nor do they ever go by the shorter oil change schedules regardless of how they drive. After all, by the time they sell the car it's not very likely to be a problem for them.
This is why brands that do a lot of leases have started rolling service into the lease price. People think the service is "free" so they actually go and get it done. Then when they return the car the company sells it as a certified preowned car with full service records at a premium.
