If there is not a good or reasonable way to get all of the fluid out, then don't touch it right? Doing an oil change on engine is not going to get all the oil out either. Color of fluid is not the ultimate indicator of condition. The additives can break down, the fluid looks fine, but still needs to be replaced, this happens all the time usually with symptoms like T/C shudder, or other minor shift quality issues.

I don't call it a flush machine, but the fluid exchange machines are the most effective way to renew the fluid in a trans.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
