Because, like any hydraulic fluid, it is subject to heat, moisture, oxidation, and additive death.
I just changed mine yesterday. I kept meaning to do so, but kept putting it off. The original fluid was from a 2001 Tahoe with only 82,000 miles. The fluid was almost black in the jar used to suction the old out. Never again will I let my vehicles go this long or as many miles.
The fluid in my cars is black, too. I'm not worried about it; it functions fine.
