1) brake fluid is very incompressible (for braking purpose)
2) brake fluid has high boiling point (for safety purpose)
3) brake fluid has very low freezing point (for very cold environments)
4) brake fluid is not corrosive with brake seals (for longevity purpose)

1) From a practical standpoint all liquids are essentially incompressible
2) yes 450-500 dry, but only 250-300 wet (when a significant amount of moisture is absorbed)
3) yes
4) glycol based brake fluid will not attack the rubber seals, but the absorbed moisture can corrode the system in addition to lowering the boiling point. This is why conventional glycol base DOT 3 & 4 brake fluid should be periodically replaced.
