The fluid and the filter become less effective over time. The degree of degradation may not be enough to cause transmission failure but changing the fluid every 50,000 miles means the fluid will be far closer to the initial specifications for optimum performance and durability.
Even at 50,000 miles I don't think the fluid smells or feels like new.
What source says---whatever you do, DON'T change the transmission fluid?
