These days I generally get shops to build 'new' bikes and then I don't touch the hydros again until it's time to replace the bike or swap groupsets or something equally dramatic. I don't even have any bleed kits now.

As a pathetic apartment-dwelling millennial, fixing bikes is one of my few tastes of self-sufficiency and I'll be damned if I give that up.
I bought some lovely new handlebars 3 months ago and keep putting installation off because of the dreaded bleed.

The reality is I just want Sram Red 22 mechanical forever and (more importantly) have a horrible track record when it comes to bleeding hydro that also involves being shouted at by my wife.
