Our turbo plugs die at 70,000 km while the NA car gets 1,50,000. Plus the brake fluid nobody books

Was poking through Kia's own scheduled maintenance table for the Seltos last night, mostly out of gearbox curiosity, and two lines stood out for us 1.5 T-GDi folks.
First, spark plugs. The Smartstream G1.5 T-GDi is listed at every 70,000 km. The naturally aspirated 1.5 gets 1,50,000. Direct injection and boost, so fair enough, but it means plugs are a real line item in our ownership and not a someday thing.
Second, brake and clutch fluid, listed at 36 months or 30,000 km. That one catches people because it is calendar driven. If you drive gently in Hyderabad and only crawl 6,000 km a year, the clock still runs out on you.
My plan is to ask for the plug and fluid work to be quoted separately at my next visit rather than taking a bundled figure. Anyone already crossed 70,000 and done the plugs?
