Making money for Eagers, I suspect?

BYD entered Australia without a dealer network, so partnered with Eagers to sell cars. I suspect the 20k interval servicing is more of a lick of the lolly for Eagers than anything. Could easily be less frequent intervals.

I mean there's diff oils and coolants and what not to check, and its not a bad idea for a pair of qualified eyes to give the thing a once over somewhat frequently I guess. Still a pain to take time off work for though.

One benefit is they do firmware updates to components you cant update OTA. The "IVI" (fancy acronym for screen) gets updates every so often but the drive components need to be done manually. They do things like smooth out shifting, or adjust the pedal feel, or change the way it reacts to LIDAR readings, and probably other way more important stuff that you don't notice.
