Default Power-steering Fluid Flush?

So I got my routine maintenance done yesterday and my dealer "recommended" that I get this done, they weren't pushy, but I never do any actual work at the dealer anyways other than scheduled maintenance.

So is this necessary or it is a money grab? it's a Honda with 64K kms on the clock. It doesn't seem (sound) as important as a tranny fluid flush to me?

Any mechanics on here? Thanks in advance.

Tranny flush is more of a 100,000k job. Maybe less if it's a heavy duty vehicle that actually pulls something once in awhile. Power steering? I don't think I've ever had that flushed.

money grab... unless it is contaminated i wouldn't bother..

as an aside generally here are some of the intervals.

Brake Fluid every 2 years
Coolant flush every 3 years
Tranny Flush every 100k or so
