Default Brake service with fluid change @ 20K miles

My 2013 GS350 Service Manager informs me I should have my brakes serviced every 20,000 miles.This appears to be a little overkill. Is there something I don't understand why this is required on a Lexus? Never an issue on all my other new cars during the past 50 years. Any insight would be appreciated.

Brake fluid change at 2-2.5 years is what I do regardless of miles.

I've had cars go 90k before getting the brake fluid changed, not a big deal unless you track

What does the maintenance schedule say? Dealers try and add services all the time, just do what the maintenance schedule says.

3 years or 30K miles according to '13 GS maintenance schedule.
