Its well worth just bleeding $5 worth of fluid through once every year or 2.
Fluid in the calipers is subject to very high temps & will in time decompose. The inhibitors/additives will also be depleted in time in the calipers because of the heat.

Very true the stuff at the bottom is often the grottiest - push a little bit out and you'll also discourage corrosion / stuck bleed nipples...
...also just getting under your car once in a while and having a good look round is an important part of regular maintenance.
