you can ignore a lot of regular maint....roll the dice, take your chances. why bother to change the engine oil and filter? anyone who doesn't change brake fluid for 100,000 miles is an idiot...or trying to prove darwin's theory.
brakes are your major safety system. brake fluid absorbs water, lowers boiling point and will, not can, fail you. brake lines can fail internally with no visible signs. they are not lifetime parts.
brake fluid every 2 years? that is long for me. i do it every year on the cars and bikes...every month in season on the race cars.
brake lines every 5 years? that might be a little much. 10 years for a street bike more reasonable.
fluid change is a 15 min evolution and fluid is cheap. no brainer to change it often.
lines take an hour or two and maybe $100. no brainer.
