The fluid remains viable longer than the service life of the lever. Or at least as long as it takes to spot the next shiny thing and flog the bike and make it someone else's problem.
These were 1yr old levers, on their 3rd bike.
I need to stop getting new Frames and get Bikes instead huh?

Mineral oil disc brakes should require bleeding pretty much never.
Recently worked on a friend’s 2015ish Spez hybrid. Hubs rusted, chain rusted, rings badly worn, tyre tread gone, headset the slightest bit crunchy (but couldn’t remove fork with half a can of WD40 and a 5lbs mallet so we left it in, ha). The brakes? Basically perfect, just needed new pads, and rotors.

Most old bangers I see come with some variation of black gloop instead of oily pink stuff. It works, until it doesn't.
